1/35 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. C

Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

First put into service in 1935 and the mainstay of Germany’s pre-war armored forces, the Panzer II went on to fight right up to the war’s end, even though it was rendered obsolete early in the war. Armed with an effective 20mm machine cannon, the C model was used primarily for liaison, reconnaissance, and policing operations later in the war. The chassis was also used as the base for other vehicles, such as the Wespe and Marder II. Alan, of St. Petersburg, Russia produced this kit. The moldings are fair. Although Alan kits are “short run”, they definitely qualify as being at the top end of “short run” kits, or even the lower end of “mainstream” producers’ kits. While not of “Big T” quality perhaps, with a little care a very attractive miniature can be made from this kit. Tracks are individual-link construction, a big advance over the “rubber band” tracks seen in some “major” producers’ kits. Alan’s 1/35 Panzer II Ausf. C is molded in light gray plastic and includes nicely molded leaf spring suspension units, a photo-etched muffler screen, and markings for 4 vehicles.
