Hello everyone!
Here is my 1:35 Revell's Spae. Pz. 2 Luchs. It's a nice model, which I assembled quickly (a couple of weeks) with Eduard's PE accessories. It's a HUGE and HEAVY beast...
I'll paint it in September, once I come back from holidays!














Comments welcome of course!
Thanks for watching!

You might want to sand off the mold seams on the front and rear tow hooks as well as fill in the sink holes on the front ones.

Looks awesome.

Thanks for pointing that out! Will definitely look better
I'll finish everything after the holidays, but the most of the job is done!

i never thought i would say this but i really dont like the tyres some of them look distorted the built is great and the tyres are in no way a reflection of my opinion of your work.

Thanks!
I know the tyres are not the best, especially for that ejector line in the middle... I'm still in time to order the Real Model set though!

Looks good. I remember seeing those running the roads in Germany when I was stationed there. Man I miss living there.

Nice! Also love modern german armor. You really have to look for a set of resin wheels, when I build my Luchs the whels just broke down after some time.

Cheers
