This one has been in my stash for a good while so now I think it's time to go on and build it. Seems to be a really nice kit which I plan to build OOB. 🙂 I've started on the road wheels to go on and get them done first. Still some touch up to do.

Nothing wrong there John looks top be a good start.

Finished the road wheels and attached them to the chassis. Now it's on to the rest of the build. 🙂

Some progress.

Left side track attached.

Looks good there John. The track sag especially is convincing.

Thanks Carl. CA glue! 🙂The left side wasn't a problem but the right side is giving me fits.

Thank you Martin. 🙂

[JohnB]

Most of the hull is done except for the fiddly bits. The turret is next up. 🙂

Really like how you distorted the netting on the intakes. Nice touch indeed.

LOL Martin. It just happened that way! 🙄

Ready to spray the camo.

Nice looking little tank. I understand these little Luchs are rare with just two examples surviving. Nice job so far. Now admit

it, isn't building tanks fun? I have a bunch of tank models to finish whenever I can get back to the bench again. It's funny, recently

I've been buying aircraft models...some vintage.. ( see "what did you just get" )  I've been getting 1/32 Hasegawa Japanese aircraft

kits returning to my roots of modeling when I built everything Japanese.

Thanks Paul. I agree that it's a nice alternative to building nothing but airplane models. The thing I don't enjoy is painting those road wheels! Always a PITA. At least for me anyway. LOL I have several more armor kits in the stash but I hope to sell some of them and keep some to build. 🙂

Dspaie makes a circle cutter that makes making masks for the wheels easy.....that's what I use...works great. 

Worth the price
