Building Luchs #41 of the 4th Pz.Div.
This is another of my "Shelf Queen" blogs that I started a couple of years ago. I want to get it done so I am starting my blog over again.
The kit is the Tasca Panzer II Ausf.L "Lynx", the 4th Pz.Div. version. I was adding an interior but the lack of good references has killed that dream. I intend to build tank "41" as it appeared in the winter of 1943/44 with the 4th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front. The kit is generally very good, but there are a few areas that can be improved. I'll be focusing on these areas.
I have been collecting references on the Luchs for a long time now. In addition to _every_ available book, I have a collection of unique photographs too. With the publication of the recent Panzer Tracts 2-2 book there are finally accurate scale plans _and_ information about what is beneath those engine deck grills.
I also am taking next week off so now is about as good time as any to get this project and blog completed. |
