Panzer II of 7. Panzer-Division in a French Town

A pair of captured "Tommies" of the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) ride a Panzerkampfwagen II (Ausf.A, B or C) through a coastal French town, while a French army medic loiters behind an ambulance, 1940. The panzer has the retro-fitted armor on the turret front, superstructure and bow; note also a welded patch on the lower edge of the turret, beneath the first numeral of the Tac number ("141"). This is painted in white outline form. The superstructure side has a black Balkenkreuz, outlined in white as well as the divisional sign for the 7. Panzer-Division (an inverted "Y" followed by three dots) painted in yellow. Modelers should also note the various shades and patterns of the metal on the 2cm KwK 30 gun tube; they should not be confused with painted on-stripes.
