Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this model kit is an excellent choice for beginners due to its simplicity, ease of assembly, and clear instructions, making it a fun and quick build. Many appreciate the high quality and detail for the low price, along with the inclusion of multiple figures and build options for different campaign versions. However, some note drawbacks such as issues with the rubber tracks and limited detail in certain areas, though these are often overshadowed by the kit's value and suitability for practicing techniques.

Nice little tank

By: Chickenhawk (Los Angeles, CA)

This is an awesome kit! Very easy to assemble and comes with very detailed instructions. This was my first tank that I've built and for my first it was a lot of fun. I painted it with custom colors so it does not look like the cover portrait. I only have brown paints available so that's what I used. Overall this is a nice kit and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a beginner in building tanks.

Small but fun tank

By: rockykeele (Tucson, AZ)

The Tamiya German Panzerkampfwagen II was a fun, simple kit to assemble. The builder can choose to build a European version, or an Afrika Corps version. The kit comes with a tank commander and 4 infantrymen (with the option to use Afrika Corps desert helmets or regular infantry helmets - although some troops are in shorts). As with most Tamiya kits, accessories(shovel, jack, section of extra tank tread, crowbar, etc.) come stock. The completed kit is rather small (as was the real tank) and is completely dwarfed by other WWII tanks such as the Panther and Tiger. The contrast with the larger tanks gives it some character though, in my opinion.

Great Little Panzer II

By: leonidas117

Being my first tank build in a over a decade, this was a great way to get back into building armor. Tamiya quality shows throughout, and although it is an older kit, the flash was non existent and parts fit perfectly. Decals were numerous and build options were available too, allowing you to build more that one variant of the tank. You can't go wrong for such a cheap price and I highly recommend this tank for those just getting into the hobby or for someone more experienced who just wants to complete a quick build without complications of PE or a high parts count. Again, highly recommended!
