Panzer II AusF C Light Tank

Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of a Panzer II AusF C. 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).
 
The model is designed for resin 3D printing comes natively in 20mm (1/72) scale and includes a supported version for this size. Furthermore, the files are pre-hollowed, reducing the material requirements, improving the probability of print success, and ensuring no voids are present within the geometry.
 
The file is designed to be detailed enough to hold up well at larger scales however, including the common 28mm (~1/56) scale. Larger scales will have to be manually supported at present, however a future goal of TCR designs is to include supported files for larger scales, as well as a less-detailed version designed to function on FDM (filament) printers.
 
The model at its native scale took roughly 4 hours to print on an "Anycubic Photon Mono 4K" printer and has the following dimensions:
Length - 2.61" (66mm)
Width - 1.27" (32mm)
Height - 1.07" (27mm)

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.

In Armored Advance:
In armored advance the Panzer II AusF C is a cheap anti-infantry unit, with very limiting anti-tank utility. The vehicle's armor will not stop much, nor will the cannon damage much. It is, however, very potent at knocking out unarmored units with the 20mm autocannon.
