A late start this year in the Annual Painting Challenge, Christmas holidays have been particularly busy with different family and friends gatherings. In any case, my first post is already live (published on December 31st) and will eventually be the initial part of a series dedicated to 2WW recce vehicles.
This is a German "Luchs" (or Lynx in Englsih) an evolution of the Panzer II that saw action from mid '43 in the recon units of the German divisions both in the Eastern and Western front. The production was limited to a total of 100 units (according to Wikipedia), which made sense cutting when Germany went into a defensive stance and shifter efforts to the large "cats".
This is a resin 3D printed model from the French company Eskice; this model in particular has a good design but the truth is that the brand is pretty irregular in the quality of their designs (the German Fallschirmjager for example are terrible)
It was painted in a 2-colour (dark yellow + green) cammo scheme with a faded touch.
The model scored for the "New Acquisitions" section of this year's Challenge bonus pool (developed around the sections of a Public Library) and merited a total of 40 points (or 10% of my 400 points Challenge target in 2024).
Have a great 2024!
