1:100 Panzer II – Zvezda 6102

The Panzer II was the tank that decided the fall of France, being the mainstay of the German armored forces in 1940. Although obsolete in 1941 it still played a pivotal role in the initial Barbarossa operations and its chassis proved to be suitable for countless conversions.

Introduction

This is a wargaming kit made by Zvezda in the 1/100 scale (15mm). The box art is nice and the instructions on the back show that this model has only five parts.

Assembly Process

The turret is one piece as the upper hull. I must say i am really impressed by the detail considering how small this kit is (only 4 centimeters in length).
