Title: Panzer II
Post by: Bob C on December 10, 2020, 11:40:44 AM: This the 1/35 scale Tamiya Panzer II. I started it in February-March of this year ready for the May club night but as we went into lockdown it was put to one side.
It's out of the box, a good kit finished with a MiniArt crew figure.

Great work Bob. Was that 20mm gun automatic? I bet this tank could do some real damage to infantry.
CHRIS-- I thought black was the new gray.
