Tamiya Panzer II Ausf. F/75mm

[Panzermeister36]

It's all finished up! Sorry for the crap lighting in photos, but I don't have any good lighting in my house so these are literally on the kitchen table with the bluish winter sun shining in! I'll invest in a photo booth someday, but right now all my cash has been spent on paint

This is a vehicle I assembled to recreate a photo I once saw on a Google Images trawl for camo patterns. I showed an up-armoured (with tracks and the appliqué bolted to the front plate) Panzer II Ausf. F modified with the 75mm howitzer from either a early Panzer IV, a late Panzer III, or an early StuG III assault gun in service in Normandy, France, 1944. (More detail on my build post)

It would have fit though, as the Dragon 75mm L/24 from a Panzer IV Ausf. E I used has the full breach mechanism inside, and there was room to spare! Huge thanks to my modelling buddy who donated this gun

I used my "artistic licence" (SUE ME) for the camo pattern/markings (2nd Panzer Div, 4th company, 4th Sturmgeschutz zug [squad]), the fire extinguisher, the lack of the turret basket and the ejected shells on the rear deck, as the photo was somewhat unclear, from the front, and I wanted to update this early-war Panzer with the usual '44 equipment.

Nice one! You really did a cracking job on this baby panzer!
Great finishing and ... wow ... this 75mm canon looks ridicolously huge on the Pz II...
Wonder if it was moved back every time they shot it

Cheers,
Radek
