Why does the ICM Luchs and Pz II model show 5 and 3 different tank options on the instructions,but only include decals for one each??
I am having a bad day, but I stopped by the house and my mood brightened when I found a package on the front porch. Anxious to look inside (I ordered the ICM Luchs and PZ II) I found that my Luchs kit had no track links at all. Should have known, the way my luck is going.
Look on the bright side, it gives you the perferct excuse to get AM tracks and decals/transfers. [:O)]
Sorry to hear your purchases weren’t what you expected, nothing is more frustrating than to open up the box and realize that you’ve been sold down the river.
Is that the $55 kit or the $15.00 kit? I was looking into getting one at my LHS but can’t remeber the manuf. I know there was a $64 version also. I thought it was kinda pricey.
Just me.

It figures the decals included were the ones I DIDN’t want to build. It has a couple of really nice three tone camo schemes in the instructions, but of course the decals included are for the plane jane yellow one. On the bright side, it is a step better than the Acadamy Pz IV I bought a few years back. It had no directions for paint schemes, and the decals inside didn’t match any of the boxtop options
I got this at Alangers for $10.50. They are on sale right now for $11.55. I looked long and hard at the $55 Tasca version, but couldn’t get myself to spend that much on such a little tank. I heard it is as good, if not better than Tamiya products, however
It better be better for $55. I would like to read a review before spending that kinda money.
Sorry about your luck JWest.

I’ve built two of the ICM pz ll-L. I’ve had good luck with them. The ones i’ve built had the decals for the 5 versions in the instructions. And they had “indy” tracks that I thought were pretty good. I would say the decals could be much better,{my opinon}. Sorry about the bad luck. I think we all have this with new kits. I know I have.
Hmmm… matthew9, were your decals all on one sheet? I just had one little one with one tank option
Yes, they are all on one sheet, maybe 3"x3". I look around to see if I still have a set in the spare decals “blackhole”. You never know.
Odd that they would also make a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 decal set as well. Yeah, if you have any extra and could spare them, that would be great. i wanted to do any of the three tone Luchs. I can live with what came with the PzII D.
I’ve got them. I’ll e-mail you. the details.
Thanks. I sent you my address. Let me know if you didn’t get it. If you want me to send a pre–stamed envelope, let me know. Thanks again. Man, I love this forum!!! Now all I need is to get the “missing (track) links”!
No problem, glad to be some help. I will drop them in the mail tomorrow.
Thanks again
[#oops] Well, there is no point in putting bad news off untill morning. While putting the finishing touches on my M4a4, I knocked over a [full] cup of coffee on the bench. This managed to “coffee weather” lower tracks, but worse still it destroyed the decal sheet I was going to mail you in the morning. It looks like we are both having a bad day.[sigh] Maybe someone else [that does not put cups on the bench] might have some around. I don’t know what else to say, other than I’m sorry. I hope you have better luck.

No problem. Maybe you accidentally discovered a new weathering technique
Oh and sorry my bad day has reached you. Apparently it infects everyone I am around!!
Don’t worry about bad luck. This had to do with me being up too late, and being careless, not your bad day! Also, this happen’s more times than I want to admit. Thing happens.
Again sorry.
Maybe we need to define this bad luck/curse more carefully…
All modelers who’ve been exposed to Jwest21’s recent posts should report to the nearest medical facility for examination of possible JBLS (Jwest Bad Luck Syndrome) and subsequent treatment/quarrantine. [:O)]
Hope you both recover soon!
Let’s pray for a vaccine soon. With your valuable contributions, we can beat this affliction together
