PROTOTYPE HISTORY

World War II brought armored vehicles to the forefront, making them the main striking force. But it all began not with heavy, unstoppable, powerful machines with siege weapons, but with small maneuverable tanks. One of the remarkable examples of engineering creativity of the 1940s is the German "Panzer II Ausf G". A chain of modifications to the basic model, which was one of the most numerous tanks until 1942, led to its appearance.

The "Panzer II Ausf G" significantly increased in speed. Unlike its rather slow predecessor, it could reach speeds of up to 50 km/h on the highway, which improves its mobility. Due to its good maneuverability, this light tank could perform tasks of escorting and providing fire cover for infantry even better.

Its armor was sufficient to protect against small arms and mines, but artillery strikes became fatal for the Panzer II. The main weapon of the "Panzer II Ausf G" remained the 20mm automatic cannon and the 7.92mm MG-34 machine gun. The main protection was the turret design with ricochet angles, which allowed to soften or deflect enemy shell hits.

The “Panzer II Ausf G” crew consisted of three people. Unlike the previous model, the driver and radio operator received viewports in the front and sides of the hull, improving the combat vehicle's maneuverability.

Features

During WWII, the "Panzer II Ausf G" was produced in small quantities and is more interesting for its technological innovations than for its victories on the battlefield. However, this model interested the creators of the game "World of Tanks", the company "Wargaming", and they made it part of an extensive fleet of combat vehicles. The "Panzer II Ausf G" has a Tier III level, and upgrade capabilities, and performs well in local battles in urban areas.

The "Panzer II Ausf G" model kit for self-assembly is a collaboration between "Wargaming" and "Metal Time Workshop". The "WoT" logo is located on the model's base, and each kit comes with a bonus package from "Wargaming". It contains an activation code for the game, which allows you to start playing the most popular online tank RTS game, as well as the T2 light tank + Slot + 7 Days of WoT premium account + 500 gold. An excellent start for a beginner online tanker! The "Panzer II Ausf G" model features the recognizable tank design, including the geometry of the rotating turret, chassis with five rollers arranged in a chessboard pattern, hatches, armament, and engine compartment radiators. Textures and images have been applied to the surfaces using the electrochemical etching method to give the model a resemblance to the original combat machine. All model parts are made of stainless steel, which is commonly used in the food industry, consumer goods production, and toys. Assembling the "Panzer II Ausf G" model does not pose any harm to the owner. The precise cut allows for easy assembly without the use of additional tools, soldering, or gluing.
