The new year has already begun to be about 45 days and I stand by this model a little older, probably in 1998 of Alan, but I must say construction that has been pretty easy. I changed some details with other better defined (Tamiya, Dragon), I added the welds because the model it is completely devoid .The plastic which is printed is very good and I would say better than some of the newer ones. Of course I also changed the tracks, oversized, with those of Friulmodel it should go 65 to the side, but anche in this case or for the defect model or size of tracks .... it is about 0:18 mm to link it I had to put 62. Sorry for the fussiness but I like to be precise in things .The 2 cm barrel is the Griffon models, the MG 34 is of Aber .Some particulars are in Evergreen, while the butterflies are Bronco. The three nets above the engine's cut from a reference Aber. Well now I have to start painting, probably in gray panzer. The figures rather than put it into the turret is a tank crewman with the early 40 black uniform.

Panzer II Ausf J (VK16.01)
Il nuovo anno è ormai iniziato da circa 45 giorni ed io mi presento con questo modello un pò vecchiotto , della Alan probabilmente 1998 , ma devo dire che la costruzione è stata abbastanza facile . Ho cambiato alcuni particolari con altri meglio definiti ( Tamiya , Dragon ) , ho aggiunto le saldature perchè il modello ne è completamente sprovvisto .La plastica con cui è stampato è molto buona ed oserei dire migliore di alcune di quelle più moderne . Naturalmente ho cambiato anche i cingoli , sovradimensionati , con quelli della Friulmodel ne dovrebbero andare 65 per fianco , ma anche in questo caso o per diffetto del modello o per dimensioni dei cingoli ....si parla di circa 0,18 mm per cingolo ne ho dovuti mettere 62 . Scusate la pignoleria ma a me piace essere preciso nelle cose .La canna da 2 cm. è della Griffon models , la MG 34 è della Aber . Alcuni particolari sono in Evergreen , mentre le farfalle sono della Bronco . Le tre reti sopra al motore le ho tagliate da una referenza Aber . Bene ora devo iniziare la pittura : probabilmente un grigio Panzer . Il figurino invece che metterò in torretta è un carrista con uniforme nera dei primi anni 40 .
