Panzer Ii Ausf L "luchs" - German Light Tank - 1/72 Scale

Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of a Panzer II AusF L, nicknamed the "Luchs". This version is equipped with the historical 2cm autocannon. Documentation and references for the real vehicle were rigorously studied to make the model as geometrically accurate as possible, except in the cases where printability would have to be sacrificed (such as the fender thickness).

Historical Description:
The Panzer II was originally designed as a stopgap tank for the German army during World War 2, meant to tie over panzer divisions while larger tanks were being developed. The vehicle was the most prevalent German tank at the beginning of the war; however, it would be replaced by the Panzer III and IV tanks shortly after. By 1942 the vehicle was almost entirely taken out of frontline service. The vehicle generally had lackluster armor, as at the time of its development resistance to small arms was the biggest consideration. All Panzer II variants mounted a 20mm autocannon of some variety, with earlier models using the KwK 30, while later versions upgraded to the KwK 38.
 
The Panzer II L "Luchs", was a dedicated reconnaissance tank used by Germany during World War 2. It did not have much in the way of firepower or armor, but could reach an impressive top speed (for a tank) of 60 km/h. The Panzer II AusF L is visually similar to the G, though very different from the other variants. The vehicle swaps the standard suspension mechanism for an interleaved road wheel system using torsion bar suspension, reminiscent of heavier German armor. The Luchs mounted an improved 20mm autocannon, the KwK 38 L/65, bolstering its firepower. The vehicle was the last version of the Panzer II to be produced in meaningful numbers, with 100 being built.
