My Tamiya Panzer II is now as complete as it's likely to get. As it is destined to be used with 'toy soldier' painted figures I have kept the paintwork basic and clean. No markings have been applied as I have yet to decide which master(s) this Panzer will serve. The figure (included for scale) is a 1/35 WW2 Soviet tank officer.
The kit itself is a gem. Despite having been around for (I believe) 40+ years the parts are all very crisp and go together easily. A commander figure is included, along with four Afrika Korps infantry. And at less then £10 it's something of a bargain!

"The troops are rockin and the tanks are rollin". . . . Very nice kit.
So that means you'd like another, and some motorbikes and a Soviet armored car to build?

Cheers Steve - it was a pleasure to build!
Ross Mac
Hell yes!
Very nice Tim- what do you plan to use it for? Inquiring minds would like to know....
Cheers,
Pete.
Very nice Tim, I remember building ones of those back in the day. I can't help thinking it is a teeny bit modern for FLW though.

Most likely for a Funny Little Wars excursion to the 1930s...

You are probably right. Clearly the tankette is the weapon of the future....
It looks good, I made one of these recently as well, take a look here:

Cripes, that does look clean and shiny.
Is this the end of Braille scale I wonder.

I think you are building to a rather higher standard! But that just goes to show what a nice kit it is.

It's painted to go with shiny toy soldiers but relax - 20mm is still alive and well!
Thanks for that Tim I might make a lunch at making mine
:)
I think I'll go Desert Fox
i take it that you found a use for the DAK figures too ;)

I've not done anything with the figures as yet, but I'm sure their time will come.
