Johnny

The front base for the drivewheels......I'm not sure what that part is called

Johnny

Hello!

I have started to make the wheel cionnectors and the suspension.
First I noticed there was something wrong with the parts 64....I could not make the part fit the way it was.So I had to do some investigation,and luckily I found some shots of the real luchs that showed the part.I found out that the part missed some scorelines and the instructions are really BAD on this point and doesn't show the part in it's final shape at all.

Here I have placed the scorelines there they are supposed to be.


The scoreline should be as wide from the scoreline that shows as the part 64B is.When that problem was solved it was no problem to continue.





That was one damper.....3 to go

I also made a small hatch on the rear.


Now I'm off work for 3 weeks......so I will continue the Luchs when I return

Johnny

Hello again guys!

Tonight I did the exhaust and the rear tow hook.

Johnny

Got some work done last night.

The front "windows" are half done....


The second damper in place


And the left side mudguard

Johnny

Some detail work....

Details on the back of the left mudguard.Added some nuts and bolts


Made one of the boxes


Some rivets here


And there....


Some tiny strips along the mudguard


And the hinges on the front part of the mudguard

Johnny

The swingarms with the damper cylinders are done.
I also made one of the rear adjustment arms and.


When all damper cylinders was in place I could put the other mudguard in place.
I also finished the front "windows" and glued that part in place.
Now it starts to look like a tank





Now it's continuing the rest of the swingarms......

Johnny

Today I finished the swingarms on the left side and made one of the wheels.

The wheel.Front-top and back side


The swingarms on the left side


And the wheel put loosely in place.


Thats it for now

I also want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas!!
