Title: WWII production query
Post by: TheOlivant on 09 June 2011, 09:03:23 AM
Are there any plans to produce a PzII ?

I appreciate other companies make them but I like Pendraken sculpts and for consistency reasons too.

Thanks

regards

Wayne

Could probably do with clarification of which Panzer II it is though. There were a number of variations some more noticeable than others but you would need different ones for Poland/France to Russia/North Africa really.

I suspect that only the D/E versions would show in 10mm, certainly I only use 1 type for Russia and N.Africa. (The ones for France are in Grey, others sand). The differance between the C an F are the level of armour, and a cuvred/straight lower hull plate.

The a, b, c and D models (case matters in this situation, lower case indicated a pre-production model) are the real weirdies as they had a visibly different suspension. The D has large road wheels in a different format to the normal (torsion bar?) and were exclusive to cavalry/light division. Later rebuilt as early Marders (with the Russian gun) and the flame-thrower tanks, and the preproduction runs had small road wheels and a support bar (like the Pz1).  All together they counted for about half the PZ2s in Poland and about 1/3rd in France, then got pulled to 2nd line duties and training.

At some point they got the rear turret boxes added too. That would show up.
