From Tamiya to ICM PzKfw II Ausf L "Luchs" 1/35

[afthevenet]

SORRY. I changed the set from the old Tamiya one to a ICM old one . Yesterday, I founded it in an old toy shop and I thought none was building it at the Group Builds, so it would bring more variety to the forum. What do you think? It will be the second set I do after an American DUKW scale 1/72. So I´ll need a lot of help!
This is the set:








The details seem to be very thin and breakable. I hope this doesn't cause troubles to me. Could anybody advise me about how to assemble the track links? I've never done it before. Must I assemble them on the wheels, or full assemble separately, and then bending them on the wheels? Or maybe I should do it in small sections?

Thanks in advance. And sorry for the inconveniences of changing the set now.

Great to have you on board, you know I'm not sure if anyone else is doing that particular kit.

Looking forward to what you do with it.

Its so cool that most of you guys pull ot the best goodies to make this classic look like a contemporary model again with regard to detail. No doubt, this will be aswesome

Agreed.. The tiny touches will be what sets these kits apart, and everyone is adding their own personal touch.
This is such a cool SIG!!

Updated with a change of set. Sorry

Hahaha. I bought it for 11€! Hope you got it to see another ICM!

Hi, I don´t know about the decals quality (This is my second set) and I dont' have enough experience. It´s great to have this set twice! I have found a web where they explain how to use the track links! I´ll glue in two sections, upper and lower, I will paint them and glue together at the end!

I'm interested to see what this kit turns out like. It's good that there's two of you now building the same model, so that you can compare notes.

New advances:



In the next image you can see a green coloured piece. This piece came broken and I scratch build it.

I hab had to make a little cut here:

After that, the uper side and the down side fit together better.
