I did some googling and here are a few ideas

My friends, thank you for all the responses and suggestions for the Panzer II!

To be honest, I was a bit surprised the original paint scheme didn't get much love, my original idea was to revamp it with current techniques 😁That or a white wash.

But it made me think about other options. A lot of you suggested DAK camouflage or grey-brown from Polish campaign. When I was looking for references, both of these options come with very specific markings, Polish tanks for example had full white crosses while DAK armor often came with white/red numbers, palm tree insignias etc. My plan is to use some leftover markings from other kits and build a non-specific tank though.

So my options include a winter white wash like in the first picture, or panzer grey. The second photo is a sample from Tankograd book and the spare track armor is just amazing! I want to do something like that, but it'll depend on how many leftover Friul links I'll end up with. I'll most likely add some extra stowage on the back, something like on the last photo.

How does that sound? Spare tracks and stowage are probably a definitive yes from me (again, depending on the amount of spare links) and the camo.... I honestly don't mind either option. Pure panzer grey is awesome and I haven't done it yet, but the striped winter whitewash looks very original. It's also snowing here right now, so it's giving me plenty of inspiration 😁😁

Also, another video is done, I'm continuing on the BMR-3M today :)
