When I was a kid, this tank cost only $3. You can still buy them for $5.00. That's how much it takes to get kids to appreciate the beauty of models!

Isn't it nice when a kit has clear instructions and everything fits! My recent kits have been by Italeri, Tamiya and Revell, and there's no doubt which has been the most pleasurable to build. The Revell Land Rover I'm currently building is a well-detailed kit and it's going together without too many difficulties, but the instructions are a little vague in places and the parts are frequently scattered across multiple sprues so I seem to spend more time tracking parts down than putting them together. I wish all kit manufacturers did things the Tamiya way! I'm looking forward to seeing you wreck this Panzer.

Thanks Ian, totally agree and really struggle to understand why most manafactures cant produce decent instructions, Dragon comes to mind as consistantly being either vague or plain wrong! I am looking forward to wrecking her as well, just need to be careful i dont go overboard 😝

@@HalidonDioramas I haven't tried a Dragon kit yet, but they do make some interesting stuff. I've had a slight crisis with the Revell Land Rover- the instructions are wrong where it shows the gear lever positions for left or right hand drive versions! Somebody can't tell their left from their right and I've spent the best part of an hour correcting the mistake.

About the road wheels: You glued he part containing the polycap the wrong way around, the polycap should be totally enclosed within the wheel.

1971 - the year that gave us Blood From The Mummy's Tomb! Clearly a year for classics! I made this one way back in the day. It still looks a lovely little kit.I'm looking forward to the diorama - I imagine the damage a Panzer II would take from a Pershing would be significant!😆 Cheers. 👍

Thanks Andrew, I just looked at all the films released in 1971 and it was an amazing year for great movies, many of my favourite ones arre in the list, I think The Omega Man made the greatest impact on me because shortly after we went into the bush on a school camp and i was convinced that we were all going to die from zombies :) I dont know what way to go with the damage, i dont want to destroy it so much that it looks crap, but you are right the gun would knock the stuffing out ov a Panzer ii 😀

It is a great kit, but clearly not as easy to build as I thought!1 I just checked and you are 100% correct, i have cocked up the main gun completely, good pickup. Now we all know what one part of the damage will be, that gun barrel is being shot off for sure 😜😜😜

Glen, I hope your failure to record the turret assembly taught you the lesson not to bother with work-related meetings when you're doing something important for a viewing audience waiting in breathless anticipation of your efforts! This kit has stood up beautifully over the 50 years since it was first released. If it is still available 50 more years from now it will still be great built OOB or super detailed. Tamiya the pioneer manufacturer of the polycap wheels to make modeling life SO much easier. Keep up the good work..

The tech tip pamphlet indicated it was a later packaging version, probably around 90's. I bought the motorized version in the early 70's, the 4 Afrikacorp soldiers were sold separately. Then in the mid 70's Tamiya combines the solders and the tank and sold as a package, also Tamiya started doing away with the motorized tank models in the late 70's.
