Completely unexpected but a real bonus for inter-war armour fans, even if they did only build a handful of this sucker. One of the “land-ship” style of tanks popular in the early to mid 1930s this kit ( Cyber-Hobby 62 White-Box edition ) is going straight on my want-list.
Actually, they did see action in Norway in April of 1940. In the Battle of Kvam on 25 April 1940, a NBFZ B and a Panzer II were ambushed by British anti-tank guns. The Panzer II was knocked out and while the NBFZ B was disabled by a blow to its running gear, it continued to fight until German troops chased back the British. This is chronicled in Osprey’s Denmark and Norway 1940 book by Douglas C Dildy and John White (2007). I’ve been waiting for this kit to finally come along!
While it is very cool, I’d prefer to see some rare but used vehicles rather than rare prototypes.
Still, I love the land-ships of the 30s.
True, but at least unlike some of the paper panzers this one got to go to war, though whether or not any of them actually fired a shot in anger I don’t know. I’m just happy to see DML/CH taking an interest in interwar armour.
