This is the classic Tamiya 1/35 scale Panzerkampfwagen II model kit (number 35009), depicting the WWII German light tank – a compact but historically significant vehicle.

Key Features

• Scale: 1/35, length approx. 130 mm.
• Accurate detailing of the 20 mm cannon tank with realistic hull and turret. 
• Openable commander’s hatch: choose to build it open or closed. 
• Includes five figures: one in tropical uniform, four in Afrika-Korps attire. 
• Flexible tracks for authentic look and easy assembly.
• Requires modeling cement, paint, and finishing supplies (not included). 

Why This Kit Is Great

This Tamiya Panzer II is a fantastic entry-level tank model kit: it’s well-engineered, historically accurate, and includes crew figures—perfect for dioramas or standalone display. The small scale and simple build make it very approachable.

Modeling Tips

• Use a fine brush or airbrush with Tamiya paints: XF-63 German Grey, XF-60 Dark Yellow, XF-61 Dark Green are commonly used.
• Apply weathering carefully: many modelers suggest subtle chipping, toner washes or dry-brushing for desert or European theatre. 
• Be patient with the vinyl tracks: carefully trim and clean before painting.
• If you plan a diorama, the included Afrika Korps figures make it ideal for North Africa scenes.

Package Contents

• Plastic sprues for tank hull, turret, and tracks
• 5 crew figure sprues (tropical & Afrika Korps uniforms)
• Decal sheet with multiple divisional markings
• Instruction manual with painting guide and historical notes
