Tamiya 35009 - 1/35 Panzer Mk. II Ausf.F/G Classic WWII Model Kit for Collectors  [35009]

Panzer Mk. II in the Early War Campaigns

The German Panzer Mk. II was an important element in early World War II armored formations, often seen during the initial Blitzkrieg operations. As German forces moved into Poland in 1939, the Mk. II demonstrated how lighter armored vehicles supported mechanised advances. Designed to fill the gap before larger designs were mass produced, the tank carried a 20mm main weapon and a coaxial machine gun on a compact chassis.

Through iterative upgrades, the Panzer Mk. II gained thicker frontal protection and improved firepower. The Ausf.F variant and later Ausf.G models received strengthened armor and an enhanced KwK 30 20mm gun, refining the tank's battlefield role. This Tamiya 35009 kit captures those development details for accurate scale representation.

Scale Modelling: Detail and Authenticity

This 1/35 scale Tamiya release is a static display model that focuses on authentic surface detail and correct proportions. Molded in tan and black components, the kit supplies lifelike exterior fittings and a crew of five figures posed for combat scenes. Assembly-style tracks and three weapons increase the realism for display builders and diorama creators.

Build Quality and Fit

Tamiya is known for precise moulding and clear pictorial instructions, and the 35009 Panzer Mk. II kit continues that tradition. Waterslide decals and careful part engineering let builders achieve a clean, museum-style finish with realistic weathering and paint options.
