Is their a panzer ii in this scale?

If not is the 1/35 kit that far off?

I have not seen a Panzer II in 1:32, but I will admit I'm not as familiar with the breadth of the scale model kit offerings - especially those from past decades. There are currently several 1:35 Panzer II kits by Tamiya and Dragon, representing various models throughout the production run of the tank.

I've been tempted to get an early-war Panzer II A/B/C variant in 1:35 (such as was used in the Battle of France). Tamiya makes such a kit. The Panzer II is a small tank to begin with and a 1:35 scale scale tank would only be just that much smaller sitting next to 1:32 vehicles.

I keep hoping that FOV would make this tank, along with a proper Panzer III, a Char 1B, a Churchill, Valentine, Crusader, and well, I could go on wishing :wink:

Yeah tman. There are so many tanks that could be done and no one making them, very depressing.

Didn't John Jenkins do one in 1/30? I think it might have been a Spanish tank. That might work.

The least FOV could do are the small AFV's. in 1:32.

PANZER II
PUMA
GREYHOUND
CHE-HA
M15/42
SEMOVENTE
BREN GUN CARRIER

FOV should sell all the tools to a more innovative and resourceful company.
Where are all the 21st CENT. moulds?
Lots of room for variants there.

Britains offered two Greyhounds. Britains also offered a Bren gun carrier many years ago. K&C offered the Semovente. Figarti offered the Che-ha. Jenkins offered the Panzer II. All of these offerings are close to 1/32. Since they are all retired, often you can pick them up for less than current FOV prices.

Jenkins did a Panzer I, not a II, K. There is a fairly decent Panzer II in the 1:30th scale from K&C, as shown below----upper left:Image
