Hi guys,
It's been a long time that I haven't posted any kits here. I just finished building the Tasca Luchs a few days ago and I already painted it and wait for weathering.
By the way, the Tasca kit is really easy to build and the fittings are as good as Tamiya's . The quality standard is on par with Tamiya's.
Here are some of the pics :
Comments are welcome.

Long time no see Steve--good to see you are still building and posting here on the site.
The Tasca looks well done (as usual). Once you paint and weather your tracks, you might want to check their fit around the drivers side front drive sprocket. The track doesn't seem to be sitting quite right (might just be the pics though).
Love the paint scheme, and the construction is very tight. Good work again.
Any figs come with this one?
Please keep us posted as you weather this one.

Very nice so far Octopus, I like the camouflage scheme.
Just a few Rivet observations:
The road wheels on the right hand side don't sit on the track.
I would try to give the tracks some sag, as on the box art. Try to gleu the track to the second roadwheel behind the drive sprocket, or use some tread.
It looks like a nice kit, and I have looked at it in the shop. Is this the one with some PE included?
Looking forward to the results of the weathering
Cheers
Henk

Guys,
Thanks for all your kind words.
For the tracks, if you see clearly, the left one is from the kit and the right one is from WWII production individual snap-in track links. Actually, it's a bit tricky to put the WWII production track links on the road wheels because it just broke off everytime when I tried to put them on. I just put the tracks on for the pics only. I'll give them a sag afterward.

Lord Sushi dude,
Very nice the little tank. Once the sag and weathering is in, this one is going to be a beauty.
I hope I can finish a model soon, so I can rejoin the rivet review board here, it's been ages since I actually sit down in front of my work bench (yes, I have a dedicated work bench in my new apartment now)
Very nice work, which set of decal you going to use?
