discussion Panzer II......Afrika Korps.....Tamiya 1/35

[PaulTRose]

Ancient old kit from early 70s and a joy to put together cos its so simple

First in a series of Afrika Korps vehicles i have planned......happen to have 3 German vehicles in my immediate stash....whilst looking at them i realised all 3 have decals for the 15th Panzer Division.....a leading unit in the Axis campaign in North Africa but came to an end at the last Battle of El Alamein

Wanted to use this as a test mule to try maskol....still not convinced.....might try hair spray next time as its a method i used to use years ago

Its a tiny thing....usual unit of comparison for scale

And apologies for pics.....had plenty of matt clear yet its a little shiny under flash yet very dull and dark without flash

Nice model Paul, looks good in afrika scheme.
I've build one of those as a kid, I remember how small it was when it attacked my other tiger I model xD... cheers

Nostalgic Paul, I've built at least two in the past and one more half built waiting for a Dio to go into. The same chassis for the Tamiya Marder II was also a neat build for me. Quick and easy. Best kit to introduce new blood into armour building.
Nice Afrika Korp livery on your build. Funny how mine have always been ETO color scheme.

Cheers,
Wabble
