1/35 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. a2 with Observation turret - IBG 35077

The IBG 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. a2 with Observation Turret (IBG 35077) depicts an early production Panzer II variant, part of the initial series of pre-war and early-war German light tanks that formed the backbone of the Wehrmacht's armored spearheads into Poland.

Entering service in 1937, the 8-ton Pz.Kpfw. II formed the backbone of German armored forces during the invasion of Poland in 1939. Armed with a 20mm autocannon and a 7.92mm coaxial machine gun, it was intended to bridge the gap before the more capable Panzer III and IV became available in numbers. By 1940 the light, fast Pz.Kpfw. II was increasingly relegated to scouting and patrol duties, though the type continued to serve in various roles until 1945.
