Hi all,
I'm currently in the finishing stages of building the ICM 1:35 Luchs :
Now, the problem is that I messed up the '215' decal on the other side of the turret pretty bad
I saw no other way but to scrape it off. First of all, I need to repaint the bad spot, but then there's the decal. I have no spares and the prospect of handpainting the numbers is daunting to say the least !
So, would anyone who has or will build this Luchs (but in another version) be willing to part with one (or perhaps two) of the '215' decals ? I'd be very grateful !
Cheers,
Michel

Hey Rodders,
There actually isn't such a thing as a LHS where I live. There's a toy store where kits are sold as well but that's about it. There is a hobby shop in a town nearby but I don't think they sell these sheets.
Of course, I could order a set of Archer dry transfers or something like that, but that seems a bit much for just the one decal I need to replace.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions
Cheers,
Michel

Getting a set of Archers is a great idea because you will have numbers available for future projects. Unless the Luchs is the only kit you will ever make, any German 35th tank kit will get you extra numbers you can use. The kit also has other numbers you can use besides the 215. You can use one of those as a partial and then place some overhanging gear to cover , or have some damage or mud obscure, or just totally change the number. Paint scheme will more than likely be the same.

Hi there, Michel - I think I can help you out here. I have two leftover "215" decals from the Luchs I just finished, and I'd be happy to send them to you.
Drop me an email at [email protected] and tell me how I can ship them to you!
