Here is some progress of my tasca luchs so far.. i have the Aber set for the ICM kit, it works good but a few pieces had some fit issues IE the rear fenders.. they hang over a bit.. Friul tracks as well....

This has to be added to some ground work!
Its so cool when both the working suspension and friuls allow this to sit almost perfectly on any ground, it as to be shown to its best advantage. Ive just been sold ... must get this.
Do the white metal drive wheels come with the kit or are they another friul item?
The PE work looks amazing ........ as usual!
If I was to mention one thing that could be improved upon it would be the antenna. It looks a bit thick and over scale!
Great build Pnzr-Cmdr.

Working Suspension?
You have got to be kidding me. I would like to see a pic of the suspension if you can.
This Luchs is looking great.

Nice looking Luchs you have going there. I have this kit myself, and would like to start on it soon. The Friuls look really good on this kit, as the kits tracks are really to only bad point of the kit. I think your kit will look real well once painted up. Keep sending the pics !
Question: Did you have a fit problem with that rear-most PE engine grille ? Just wondering as I have the same Aber PE set for my Luchs kit. Thanks !
Cheers !!

Lordette Mop,
This is one fine build, noted the PE rear fender does not fit that well, but it's really not your fault. everything looked very well build.
Lord Alpen,
to share something about that grill. I had done the samething with my Luchs kit, it seems that the ICM kit is slightly larger than the Luchs one, hence the grill screen will be a tad too big. I need to file down both side to make it fit.

I'm curious to hear more about the kit too. Everything I've read has been positive - almost enough for even me to buy one...

Commander -
You are making me want to get one of these little gems :-) You are doing a bang up job so far - keep up the momentum :-)
I agree about the antenna - maybe stretch some sprue... other than that... SUPER!
Keep us posted, dude!
Later-
Jeff

Another fine example of the Luchs. I see now why the antena is thicker! Love the finish this guy got with his! Maybe some inspiration! I want one badly!!!!!
