Tasca, on their website, are showing the first images of what could be a significant change in direction...
Ta 24-001 - Panzer II, Ausf. F. (1:24th scale)
Some details have already been published by the company:
The individual track links connected by metal pin give a it realistic look and feel along with ease of assembly.
The clamps used for the OVM (On vehicle material) in 1/35, the accurate representation we found lacking and only possible by using a larger scale.
The leaf spring suspension has been faithfully reproduced with each spring requiring 6 parts.
Adjusting the tension of the track is possible by turning the idler wheel.
The fender`s peculiar brace pattern surface texture has been accurately reproduced as on the real vehicle.
Accurately reproduced rear section includes separate open outlet grille, deflector and air release pipe.
Separate top and bottom parts for the armored drivers visor shutter giving the option to set the height of the aperture.
Transparent parts for the turret periscope and the light lens. Separate part for signal port on the Commanders hatch reproduced to show it either open or closed.
Photo Etching parts for clamps, the air release pipe cover and the tool box.
Model Kit does not include figure. Commander figure scheduled as separate future release.
Some of the on-line retailers are already carrying advance notification of this interesting development with a price of around $80 being quoted.
My thanks to Dave for the heads-up on this one!
