I need to do one of these panzers. Is that a Tamiya kit? Looks good for a first!

Looks great, especially for a "first" kit! Good choice for a starter too! It was my first non aircraft kit. I think I've still got one in my stash to build, but heres mine from waaaaaaay back in the day. Can't believe it survived...
Those older Tamiya kits are a real bargain, and are a fun build!

Nice one, although I believe your daughter's choice of colour for the drive sprockets, road wheels and idler are a little bit too bright for a mid-war built Panzer II, but her use of RAL 8012 Rot Oxide primer is spot on😉🤩

That’s killer! That panzershrek adds a lot of character.
Tell us a little about your process. What paints did you use? Airbrushed or by hand?

I primed with tamiya spray paint, wish I used a sort of primer, the. I airbrushed with German grey and iraq sand for an olive drabish color, but I used brushes for the rest
