Hi,

Just received the Tamiya Panzer II and is quite different from the Dragon kit thankfully.

The Dragon is the later C with turret cupola while the Tamiya is the earlier C with split turret hatches as well as some A and B parts.

The Tamiya kit has both the rounded and straight armoured front plates.
The Tamiys kit also has the rear smoke discharges which the Dragon kit doesn't while the Dragon kit has the lower hull interior of transmission and fighting compartment which the Tamiya kit doesn't.

So it's not a straight choice as you can get both to build different variants thankfully which is a lot better than the direct duplication we too often see.

Cheers
Terry A
