Revell of Germany SpPz 2 Luchs

Kit build-up

By: Al Gonzalez

The German SpPz 2 Luchs is one of my favorite modern vehicles. We tend to think of recon vehicles as being small and light. This eight-wheeled reconnaissance behemoth traces its lineage back to the Wehrmacht’s eight-wheeled vehicles. These vehicles share a unique characteristic. At slow speeds, and while negotiating tight curves, the front wheels turn in the directions of the turn, while the back wheels turn in the opposite direction. This gives this large vehicle an extremely tight turning radius, comparable to much smaller machines.

The Luchs has been around since 1975. In addition to the four axle steering, the vehicle is also characterized by extremely low running noise. Amazing, considering this beast is driven by a ten-cylinder engine! The vehicle is fully amphibious, and has an integral NBC protection system. Newer models have been upgraded with a thermal imaging system, GPS navigation, a gyrocompass, and a data link that allows each vehicle to transmit real-time reconnaissance data back to its headquarters.

Another reason I’m fond of this vehicle is its strange juxtaposition of intricate subdued camouflage and bright markings. German military vehicles are marked with bright red-and-white striped placards, since they often drive on civilian roads. That, coupled with blue-and-white SFOR shields, made this model an irresistible temptation.

Revell of Germany released a 1/35^th-scale kit of the Luchs in 1999. The kit is manufactured in that bright green plastic you only see in Revell of Germany kits. The kit is a combination of great strengths, hampered by several weaknesses. The model accurately portrays the intricate shape of the vehicle, but is let down by poor tires, and mushy details. Knowing this in advance, I purchased a set of resin tires and an Eduard PE set. These helped to overcome the kit’s inherent weaknesses.

During this article, I hope to highlight the major changes I made to the kit. Step 1 has you assemble the upper and lower hull, and rear plate. In a hull as large as the Luchs’, this left a lot of seams. They were all accessible, and pretty easy to fill and clean up. Step 2 has you attach the suspension arms.

Steps 3 and 7 are where I began my major surgery. I wanted to have my vehicle’s wheels turned in order to display that characteristic four-axle steering. I carefully sawed halfway through the steering linkages on parts 9 and 21 and turned the linkages. I super-glued the linkages once I was happy with the turns I induced. I eyeballed the turn radius, and got it pretty close, but not perfect. If you’re into perfection, perhaps some sort of jig would help to mare realistically portray this unique feature. I stuck with the instructions during Steps 4-6 and 8-11.

Steps 12 and 16 had me repeating the same “surgical procedure” for the two rear axles. Remember to turn these in the OPPOSITE direction. None of this is required, obviously, if you want to portray your model’s steering straight ahead. The rest of the steps, through Step 21, were ‘by the book’.

I thinned the edges of the overly thick water propeller blades (parts 43 and 44) during Steps 22 and 23. During Step 24, I sanded off the propeller reinforcement plates on the bottom rear of the hull, and used Eduard parts 10, 11, and 40 to replace them. I skipped adding the kit’s rubber tires and wheels during Step 25 to ease painting later on.

For Step 26, make sure the propellers are glued facing forward (their stowed position) unless you’re displaying your vehicle about to enter or leave the water. I left off the kit’s clear plastic lenses (parts 46) for the headlight in Step 27 until after painting. To make it easier to glue the lenses on afterwards (or better yet, replace them with MV lenses), also leave off the cage assembly (parts 47) that protects the headlights. I also left off the front license plate (part 49) in Step 28, and replaced it with Eduard part 14 after painting.

Step 30 was rather complex. I left off the front traffic warning placards (parts 14 and 15) and front marker lights (clear parts 55) until after painting. I replaced the stems on the mirrors (parts 56 and 57) with bent brass wire that was more to scale. The mirrors can be placed up or down in their stowed positions. I also added an approximately 1/8^th inch long plastic rod just inside each marker light. I’m not sure of their function, but they’re prominent in all the photos of the vehicle, and are even shown in the box top artwork.

I left off the tail lenses (clear parts 63) and rear headlight lens (clear part 46) until after painting. The vehicle can be driven in reverse from a rear-facing driver position, usually manned by the radio operator. This is why there is a rear-facing headlight!

During Step 32, I also left off the rear traffic warning placards (parts 64 and 65) and replaced them with their corresponding Eduard parts 26-28 after painting. I hollowed out the antenna posts (parts 68) and inserted streched-sprue antennas during Step 33. Step 35 is where the rear topside details are added. I scribed in a wood grain on the jack block (part 71a), and added Eduard grills to the cabin heater assembly (part 71). I left off the camouflage nets (parts 72 and 73), as they were pretty poorly detailed. Part 75 is the hatch for the radio operator/rear-facing driver. I replaced the towrope eyes on part 76 with more detailed ones from the Tamiya Pz IV detailing set.

Steps 37-41 have you add on tools and grab handles to the hull sides. All of the grab handles (parts 83-85) were replaced with their Eduard counterparts. The tools were pretty basic, but improved with Eduard straps and fittings. The more petite tools from any of the Revell Leopard I kits would have been a significant improvement. Step 41 completes most of the hull – on to the turret!

Before you proceed to the turret, you must first decide whether to model an early or late version Luchs. I opted to model the late version, for no particular reason other that I liked the markings attributed to the late version. I therefore chose the late-style gun barrel, part 101. I drilled out the muzzle, and also drilled a series of cooling holes in the jacket; check the box top for reference. I added strip styrene, with drilled holes, around the opening of the gun trunnion and added two T-shaped handles to each side of the cannon barrel. Again, check the box top painting, and you’ll see these two features.

During Steps 44 through 48, I added a variety of details. I replaced the crossbeam in part 109 with thin plastic rod, and detailed the later-version thermal sight with the Eduard parts 4 and 8. I added bolt heads to the ends of the optic sight (part 106), to simulate the pivots for the retracting cover. I also replaced the MG3 machine gun with a nicer one from the DML Modern German Paratroopers set. During Step 47, I sanded off the raised blob on the front left face of the turret, directly in front of the smoke grenades. I replaced the blob with the top half of a Panzerfaust projectile, a conical-looking device apparent in all photos of the vehicle taken from the left side. I left off the “disco light” (clear part 121) until after painting. Finally, I finished with Step 49, which adds late-model features such as the GPS antenna (part 135) and gyroscope (part 130), and additional crew storage boxes (parts 131-133) seen on vehicles deployed in the Balkans.

Having finished up the assembly, I applied the NATO tri-color camouflage using Polly Scale NATO Tri-Color Green, Black, and Brown. The five-view drawings are useful in establishing the camouflage pattern. I then painted all of the details, such as tools and periscopes, and then painted and added the resin tires. Eight resin tires made the kit weigh a couple of pounds! Many of the vehicles deployed to the Balkans painted the top of the main storage box (part 133) bright orange, which served as a makeshift aerial recognition panel. I painted this feature to, once again, offset the drab camouflage. I also replaced all of the headlight lenses with MV lenses, which were real improvements over the clear kit lenses.

I finished up by added the bright SFOR decals, and some light weathering. Then I added some Warrior crew figures, with their intricate “flecktarn” camouflaged uniforms.

Wrapping things up, this was a fun vehicle to build. Due to its complex four-axle undercarriage, and large number of details, I would recommend the kit for more experienced modelers. The real fun was contrasting the drab camouflage with all of the bright markings!

Morane Saulnier ‘L'

‘The Loaded Brolli’

By: Steve Lawson

The type ‘L' was originally designed to be an observation platform. As the mission of the Air Service began to develop and grow so did the duties of its aircraft. A young pilot named Roland Garros moves a Hotchkiss Machine Gun from the back of the rear seat to the forward deck of his type ‘L' and the first fighter aircraft was born. Makeshift boxes loaded with bombs were strapped to the rear fuselage sides on licensed built version and were flown in aviation's first ‘Black Ops' by Germany's Flieger Abteilung 9b. They flew their operations over the ice encrusted ‘Tiger's teeth we simply call the Alps Mountains, in the summer of 1915. It was a British operated Morane Saulnier type ‘L' that destroyed the great giant Zeppelin LZ 37 over Ghent Belgium on 7 June 1915. This is marked as the first aerial victory over a ‘lighter than air‘ ship. Its successes in early aviation operations secured its place in history.

The Lone Star kit is very nice. As a multimedia kit it has high versatility. Early or late versions of the French or licensed built models can be done. The resin fuselage is unique as the longerons and ribs are prominent. I would tend to subdue this effect with some light sanding. I backdated the Eduard kit to an early licensed built model Pfalz A.I. The greatest advantage of this Eduard kit was its brass. I was sorely tempted to do a kit crash here substituting the Lone Star Fuselage for the Eduard, with some modifications. Yet, I decided to work strictly on the Eduard kit for this discussion. Start with a parts clean up and pre-drill all rigging holes.

Step 1-4.) The instructions begin with the Cockpit Tub (PE 62) with its folds this piece should be painted as if the floor and cross members are wooden structures with wire bracing. Next you add the Rudder Bar Assembly (PE 22 & 34 X 2) the Control Column Assembly (PE 5, 29, 35, 39, 62 and Metal Pins.) The Fuel Pressure Hand Pump Assembly (PE 32 & 54) attaches to the right side of the framework. You can simulate an Air Hose leading forward from this unit into the Engine Compartment. Add the Lower Area Framework (PE 26) before you add the Storage Box (PE 28) in the Rear Cockpit area. The Seat Support (PE 48) for the Forward Cockpit is bent and glued in-place. Add the Pilot's Seat (PE 23) and the Rear Cockpit Structure Braces (PE 20 & 25). The Ammunition Strips (PE 63 X2) for a rear firing Hotchkiss Machine Gun are shown added to the top brace in an extension bracket. The Fuel Tank Facade (PE 58) is added along with an additional frame of Cockpit Bracing (PE47) and finally the Pilot's Lap Belts (PE 51 X2.) For instrumentation you will need to scratchbuild several items. In the last step of the instructions you will note two instruments are then added. Add them now to avoid problems. They are the Tachometer (PE 17 + Film #2) and a Clock (PE 64 + Film #1) There is also a rudimentary Instrument Panel (PE 30) that needs to be added. The remaining instruments should at least include a Floor Compass, Fuel Gauge and an Oil Pulsator Flow Glass. A Starting Magneto Switch can be added to the Instrument Panel (PE 30.) The Air Mixture Quadrant on the Pilot’s right side of the Cockpit should have a linkage rod leading forward into the Engine Compartment as well.

Step 5 - 9.) There are two etched metal pieces/plates (PE 57 X 2) that the instructions tell you to mount on the interior of the Right Fuselage Half (PP 2.) They appear to have a handle below several notched grooves. They also appear to be mounted on the Cockpit Fabric Sidewall with no other linkage or support. They are in fact the interior mechanisms for the Bomb Release Levers.

Now you can close up the Fuselage Halves (PP 2 & 3.) Erase the center-seam and thin the forward and lower rear Cowling (PP 11) edges to a paper-thin appearance. I found that the Engine mounting aperture in the united fuselage is 1/16 - 3 /32 of an inch too high, depending on which engine you use. Most issues of the Eduard Morane Saulnier ‘L' had 3 engines supplied in the box. One seven cylinder plastic assembly (PP 7a & 7b) and two white metal rotaries. One seven cylinder rotary (for the Allied Clerget or Gnome (Monosoupape) 80hp or the German Siemens Halske 80hp) and one nine cylinder rotary (for the Allied LeRhône 80hp or Gnome 100hp and the German U.0 80 hp or Ur.I 100hp) types. The Clerget had two push rods in front of each cylinder the others only had one push rod in-front of each cylinder. The German ‘U' designation stood for ‘licensed built Gnome Monosoupape' (Mono-sue-pop') rotary. The German designation ‘Ur' stood for ‘licensed built LeRhône' rotary. The point here is to test fit the completed engine. The white metal seven cylinder rotary with the Eduard Brass (PE 24 & 50) tends to be too large overall if you don't lower the Rocker Arms on PE 50 and thin down the inner surface of the Cowling (PP 11.) The completed nine-cylinder rotary with its brass (PE 37) is a tight fit if you don't thin down the inner surfaces of the Cowling (PP 11.) In any case you will have to pay attention to the Engine mounting aperture as mentioned previously.

Next, for the Tail Skid Support Assembly (PE 1,12 & 13) I prefer to substitute blackened brass rods cut to length. The Rigging Cable Eyelets (PE 59 X 6 & 60 X4) are retained and installed. The Landing Gear Legs (PE 9, 4 X2 & 11 X 2) are most versatile. Note that I trapped the Cable Bracket (PE 19 seen in Step 15) here. It makes a stronger bond. On my Pfalz A.I I took the rear legs of both sets with ½ their axle guides and made the early type wide Landing Gear. The Cable Support (PE 3) and all other photoetch should be applied per the kit instructions.

Step 10 - 12.) Involves the build up of the Bomb Cradle (PE 21 X 6, 31 & 43) The Bomb Release (PE 38 & 40), The Side Cowling Facades (PE 42 & 68) and the Hotchkiss Machine Gun (PE 18, 49, 55, 61 & 67 with Tubing) and its cradle (PE 36.) I would replace the Gun Cradle post/pin with the appropriate diameter, blackened brass-rod.

Step 13.) Brings together the final assembly for the Landing Gear. The oblong rings are supposed to be the Bungee Chord Shock Absorbers (PE 2 X6.) If you chose to add the Spoked Wheels (PE 45 X 4) to the kit tires (PP 6 X 2) consider adding a center plug of clear plastic for support. It may reflect some light but your wire-spoked wheels will not bend and twist under the weight of the white metal motor you installed. Now add the remaining Bomb Cradle of appropriate to your model profile.

Step 14.) Now add the Wing Struts (PE 6 x 2 & 8 X 2.) Pre-drilled Wing (PP1.) Before you add the Rigging Tripod Brace assembly (PE 7 & 10.) Check your model against a set of 1/48 plan views. I like to build a jig of children's type ‘Lego' building blocks to keep everything straight and square when mounting Wings to Fuselages. Tail Surfaces (PP 8, 9 or 10, 15?) and their Control Actuation Horns (PE52 X 2 & 53 X 2) and other brass facades. The Propeller can be added here too. Check your references for Propeller profiles. Rig the Tail Unit here.

Step 15.) Finish with the Main Wing rigging. Check your references as some aircraft had extra rigging and bracing wires that other aircraft of the same type did not have.
