Last year, Cyber Hobby released a 1/35 scale kit of a Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf. F (Item No. 6263), and this proved to be a hugely popular subject. Cyber Hobby is now following it with an earlier variant in the Panzer II family – an Ausf.C. The Ausf.C was the standard production model from June 1938 through to April 1940, with a total of 1,113 tanks produced. It was the most numerous variant of the Panzer II, and it served in armored units through much of the war. This means the kit will have widespread appeal, as it opens up so many options for modeling. The kit utilizes high-quality components from the preceding Ausf.F kit, but it has many brand new parts.
There’s a new turret and upper hull to reflect the appearance of this particular tank. Designers resorted to widely using slide molds in order to gain the necessary level of detail, plus there’s a generous inclusion of multimedia parts. While the tank is brimming with detail, designers have been careful to make sure it remains easy to assemble. The Panzer II may have been a small tank, but Cyber Hobby has managed to pack an enormous amount of detail into this kit. With a whole range of modeling vistas opened up – from the North African desert dunes to the mud of the Eastern Front or the cobbled stones of a French town - this kit is destined for great things in the hands of modelers! |
