Haven't finished a kit in decades, so I intend to build a fairly new kit with no add-ons and minimal detailing, out-of-the-box, no reference material.
Like I used to do in my youth... in just a weekend (well, maybe a couple!).

Just looked at the decal options... both from the Eastern Front (not my preferred one). Can anyone recommend alternative decals for the Western Front or Italy?

Can't help with research... a good link to look at:

Interesting article comparing build of 4 1/72 kits of the "Luchs", including MACO's offering (source of Revell's kit).

still researching schemes, didn't yet cut/glued any plastic pieces (not so quick build!)

Got a book with at least 1 Western Front scheme, however markings are minimal... 🙁

Another member of ScaleMates suggested this great link with pics of the Bovington Museum's Luchs:

Problem => can't find aftermarket set for the "star" antenna... doing the 5-6 small aerials with stretched sprue is a bit too much for me 🙁
