Hi Guys,
Here is more in progress pic of the Luchs. I am going to get a PE set for the Luchs, for nothing but a screen for the back deck, the kit only comes with Screens for the left and right thingy, but not the back thingy... And more work need to be done to get the tracks sag, god how I hate rubber bands. but over all the building has been very relaxing.

Lord SS -
Very nice progress so far

I think the color is all wrong though :-) (inside joke...)
Seriously - that looks like a pretty nice little kit. I'm anxious to see the little cat with paint on it.
Later-

Coming on nicely Dave. Im following this with interest. Hopefully I can pick one of these up one day! How is the build compared to modern Tamiya or DML? The first thread showed some fin detail as does the second, but Im wondering how esae od build is... clean up etc. I know you said there was some warpage.... has this caused further problems? Thanks in advance

i think that dave has cloned himself.. that is why he can spit out so many models at a time. hey i'm not complaining we could always have more than one dave! anyway it looks really good dave. are there sink marks or ejector pin marks on it?

Considering this isn't from one of the big boys such as Tamiya, etc. I'm amazed at the crispness and finess of the mouldings. Gorgeous clean build so far, I'm really looking forward to seeing the paint job on this one. I've one on the way from HLJ so I can't wait to get it. Nice one Dave.

Dave,
First off, when did you become "Lord"???? They have something over there in HK for that title?????
Hey really, is this that new Tasca kit? I have it, but do not recall the PE at all! BTW, like the specific armor term "thingy". You were part of the US Army weren't you!
