A new Panzer II is arriving in October from Dragon. It is the Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf. A and it will use parts of the previous Dragon Panzer II and Bison.
The nice new is that the kit will have interiors!! A nice addition for all the modelers that like to show their armors with open hatches. The kit will be available in October 2013.
Here some infos from the Dragon Models USA website:

The Panzer II, developed by Germany in the 1930s, was an improvement over the Panzer I, but it was still only a stopgap measure in Germany’s goal of creating a powerful tank force. The Panzer II was widely used in early campaigns of WWII such as the invasion of Poland, the Low Countries and France, but by 1943 it had ceased production and the Panzer II chassis was being converted to other uses. The main armament of most Panzer II variants was the 2cm Kw.K30 L/55 cannon and a coaxial MG34, although the main gun was mostly ineffective in the anti-tank role. A crew of three operated the light tank. The first series-production model was the Ausf.A, which appeared in July 1937.

An Ausf.A variant is the latest subject to join the 1/35 scale ranks of Dragon’s Panzer II family. The model features all the necessary elements to create an Ausf.A tank. It utilizes appropriate parts from Dragon’s previous Pz.Kpfw.II and Bison II kit. Besides, it comes with the accurate interior parts like radio set, ammo, gearbox and etc. This kit may be small, but it’s exploding with fine detail. This kit provides all the details needed to create an accurate Panzer II Ausf.A tank!
