Panzer II Ausf. b in in 1/72 scale
| Name | PzKpfw II. b (Item No. T –7265) |
| Producer | TP Model, Czech Republic |
| Packing | Carton box with color picture on the top |
| Type of kit | Resin kit |
| Quality | All parts are relatively well cast with no bubbles. Unfortunately you will find lot of flash on bigger parts and most of small parts are covered with resin film. The hull is cast in one full part and the turret is cast as hollow but with closed hatch unfortunately. The tracks are cast in strips have to be shaped with help of hot water before placing on the chassis. All parts are moulded relatively in details but some of smaller ones (for example gun barrel) aren’t good enough for precise modelers and have to be scratchbuilt. Big positive is that the kit includes also parts for fuel trailer so you can simply build complete vehicle as was used during Barbarossa operation in 1941. There is also included fine copper wire in the box so you can simply make very nice towing cable. |

| General Impression & Note |
The first look in the box is so and so,
probably because of lot of resin film covering small parts. Nevertheless if I
forget hard work to complete it I think it is possible to build very nice model
one of early version of German light tank Pz. II used is early period of WW2.
Germans produced 25 tanks Pz. II in this version only.
I would like to thank company TP Model that gave as this kit free of charge for our preview. |
