Let me start by saying that this is great news for me. I really dig the Pz. II (a great week, Italian Infantry by Dragon and now a Pz II A-C by Tamiya). The round hull is correct for the A-C. The angled hull seen in many pics is infact an armor upgrade that was fitted to the Pz. II. Question with this kit is do you get the option to model the rounded hull as well as the uparmored hull. The sprue shots show what may be the rounded front hull but it lacks all the hatch detail and may be designed to be covered by the flat armor plates. Also the pics show the uparmored front driver's plate which was also part of the armor upgrade and there fore would not be seen on the rounded hull version. I also did not see the round commanders cupola that was pretty much standard on the Ausf C as well as the conicle idler (as seen on the Wespe and Ausf F) which was retro fitted to many Pz. IIA-C. Looks like a winner to me. Thank You Tamiya (and Dragon for the Italian Dudes).
