Good evening Gents. This will be my contribution to the cause. 1/35 Sdkfz 123 Luchs by Mirage Hobby.  It comes in a rather big box, just to find it almost empty... Detail looks sharp, individual link tracks and PE parts. Plastic quality feels like recycled tupperware. 😝 Let's see how this one will roll.   |

Great version the Luchs, but I'm afraid that I will have some headaches with the Mirage Hobby kit...

I saw a great build of this a few years ago. I hope it works out for you too  |

Got one of these sitting in the stash so will have to try to keep a close eye on your build I put mine into a smaller box as the box was taking up too much valuable stash space, meaning I could get a few more in |

Finally i managed to get around building this one. As predicted the plastic quality was Soviet tupperware. There was a certain amount of flash too. Other than that, there were no issues. Fit was good. Next step, primer.       |

A little gem with the bling on its back.

Primer is on. Plus a few more additions like antennas, and jerry cans with their mountings at the back. The plastic, although it was washed twice, did the same thing as with my Roden RR. Oil prevented the primer to set right, so i kept it light and revisited a couple more times. I think it looks decent now.     While i am waiting for the primer to set, i have a torture session in store for myself, although i think the torture will be to actually manage to glue all of the track links with this plastic. 😁  |

Very nicely primed John, some of those eastern block kits can have weird plastic indeed . The tracks, well I'm sure you'll have them in place in no time |

This a sharp looking build, John! Lots of details on the exterior, as well.
