Bought this kit on the basis that I wanted to build a Luchs and didn't want to pay the earth.
It fit the bill, cheap and in the right scale.
Nice big box....
..must be stuffed full of plastic...
..ah well, there are some nice looking options, I'll go for this one...
..at least the moulds should be in good nick....
...after serious flash removal..
...off centre holes and slipped moulds, this could be fun.
I think I must have subconsciously wanted to show solidarity with John and his old Airfix Prowler.
Or maybe I'm just a masochist
Progress is at stage 3 completed (but without the wheels as they are to be painted separately first).
Lower chassis and torsion bars assembled/added
Rear panel did not want to fit nicely...
..so I chamfered the sides to get it to fit, definitely not a shake'n'bake kit here.
So that's where we stand right now. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the sprues before I cleaned them up but there was a lot of flash and heavy mould seams that had to be removed before I even considered cutting anything from the tree.
Not sure what kind of a dogs dinner I'm going to make of this but I'll give it my best shot
Thanks for looking
Phil
