1/35 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. b - IBG German Light Tank - IBG 35079

The IBG 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. b (IBG 35079) depicts the more standardized production variant of the Panzer II that followed the early a-series pre-production vehicles, forming a significant part of Germany's light tank force in the campaigns of 1939-1940.

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.
