PzKpwf II Luchs 1:25 Wak
Hello!!
Time to start a new model  This time I will try to build the PzKpfw II Luchs from Wak.  The main frame was to be built of lasercuts.... First the drawing  Parts for the frame  When I had assembled the frame I noticed something was wrong......I had done the most stupid error you can do.I had assumed both sides of the frame was equal.They were NOT!!!! So with a massive punch from my fist the laserparts hit the dust..... I then had to make the frame the old fashioned way.....yes thats right,by cutting new parts So here is what I have done so far.....     Next will be to add some smaller pieces on the frame and make the air vents at the rear end.

You gotta watch the temper with the smashing things... you can recover parts at least some of the time!
There's something wrong with your links by the way.

No rest for... Johnny!!!
Speed sometimes makes you go the wrong way, but I'm confident you can manage that little error. Congrats!

I don't seem to be able to edit my post....but there is an "s" missing in the link...it says luch5.jpg instead of luchs5.jpg
I tried to recover some parts and I managed to rescue the bottom part and the rear one....

Oh yes I make mistakes all the time....so I'm far far away from to be called master!! I guess my builds are quite average. And with well designed models,you can't go wrong! Such as the Pak40 from Draf and the ChiHa from ModelHobby.

Johnny, you're much too modest. We all think you are a master of armor and vehicles!

I think you're much too hard on yourself Johnny - I checked the model and the difference between the sides is quite small - it's about 2-3 mm on the upper front part of the hull. The original has the matching part numbers noted on the edge of the frame parts which helps avoid this sort of problem - I guess the laser cut parts don't have this.
Regards, Charlie

Nice start, Johnny! Guess I had better fire up my Luchs if I want to keep up... But I am so close to finishing the Grant.....

Air vents
Yes keep on finishing the Grant Chris!!
The air vents. The air vents are placed on the rear side of the tank and is built up by several parts. The drawing shows what to do.  Here I have cutted out the parts for the #13  The assembly is straight forward.All parts fit fine.  I bought some mesh from RaiRo since I have not been quite happy with the Gaz bandage I have used earlier. And with the mesh installed the top frame is lookig quite nice   And the air vents installed into their proper holes.   Note! Nothing is glued in place yet! I'll wait with that until I have the top skin in place, just to be sure everything fits! Last edited by Johnny; 11-01-2007 at 12:25 PM.
