Greetings. Years ago, a company called Alan from Russia produced a kit of a Panzer II C, as well as a kit of a Wespe based on the Panzer II chassis. I haven't seen these kits around for a decade, but if anyone has any of these kits in your stash and would be interested in parting with them for a sensible amount, please contact me here or at:

Thanks to anybody who responds to this post.

Both kits have been reissued under the ARK label. The plastic also appeared in Maquette boxes. The only differences were the instructions and box art.

They're everywhere on Ebay.

Specifically the Tamiya Wespe and Pzkpfw IIc Poland are the preferred alternatives. They are fantastic compared to the chunky Alan kits.

That being said I still have the Alan kits in my stash and will build them. They look fine on the shelf and after all those eye surgeries details just don't matter anymore because everything looks soft.

The Pzkpfw IIc and IIC was also issued in the Dragon Imperial series. I built them both and had fun playing with the too thick road wheels but then that was 20 years ago when they were the only game in town.
