Production of this model began in 1942, with only a dozen or so units built. It was a vehicle much more heavily armored than the standard Panzer II—with frontal armor reaching up to 80 mm. It was intended mainly for reconnaissance and escort missions, but due to its weight and weak armament, it did not see widespread combat use. It was employed locally on the Eastern Front by Wehrmacht units between 1942 and 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Hobby Boss 83803 kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlastic model kit in 1\/35 scale—accurate detail reproduction following the historical prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModern injection molds guarantee perfect fit, sharp surface details, and components of armor texture and external equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePrecisely recreated running gear, wheels, and tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdditional photo-etched (PE) parts ensure realistic detail reproduction (e.g., meshes, small handles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit does not include paints or glue, providing freedom in choosing painting techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDecals dedicated to Panzer II Ausf.J tanks used by the Wehrmacht\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eMaterial and difficulty level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe model is made from high-quality polystyrene (PS) plastic, making the parts durable, deformation-resistant, and easy to process.
