I wanted to share my latest finished build,ClassyHobbys Sd.KFZ 123,Ausf. L Luchs of the 4th Panzerdivision in 1/16th scale.
I added a aftermarket barrel for the 2cm cannon,the rest is out-of-box.Painted with Tamiya acrylics,weathering with Abt.502 oilpaints.
I know it misses the hatch sightblocks on the turret,i just forgot to put them in before making the pictures

Gotta say the camo looks really cool and the finish is a nice light touch. How did you find the kit in terms of fit, detail, etc.

Very nice. I like the chipping/weathering. It's not over the top but still looks like it's been well used.

Thanks for your comments.I appreciate that very much.I donīt really like the heavy mudding and totaly worn vehicles,so i mostly keep it low key with that.

@johhar: The fitting is...mostly good,at some point itīs a bit tricky (especially for the rear grates over the air intake vents) and the instructions have some issues (at least from my point of view).Detail overall is good,on some parts theyīre not so crisp.There is near to zero flash and only a few missaligned molding.The wooden crates have good texture and the decision to align these parts over rectangular pins,like the original ones,is a nice detail.

This is really well done! Agree with the others about your restraint on the chipping/weathering. All the pics are great, but I'd ask for 1 or 2 more showing the scale/size since there aren't a lot of 1/16 vehicles posted.

Thanks for the comparison photo. Wow!! Add an appropriate sized base, and I'm gonna have to get some bigger shelves.
