Whats with the odd triangulations on the mesh? Specifically the tanks body. It almost looks like mesh errors that occur on a bad import or something...

Also whats the polycount? It looks like you have a lot of polys on the barrel and its mounting, as well as other areas like the hatch and such. Its difficult to critique a model without seeing wireframes. Assuming this is 3dsmax, which it appears to be due to the angle short cut in the top right, hit F4 on your keyboard so that we can see the wires over the mesh material.

Its not a bad start though. There are currently some inaccuracies with scaling/proportions, but your most likely aware of them since your pretty early into modeling it :).

Thanks Mudra, and yes it must be bad import, imported it from milkshape. Shame on me. the blueprints atleast are exact length, width and height as the real luchs. 3ds max 2010 had some tutorials i used :) and i will replace all those black errors or what ever they are today :)

and where is that polygon counter?

on our renders you can save a LOT! Polys.... you dont need this several sections in the gunbas. you dont need this many edges and polys on the back of the gunmask. you only make the top and the bottom edge on this gunmask the rest is waste.

Daww....  From this angle it looks like baby/mini Tiger 1 with a different turret...  ;D

At least, to my untrained eye.  Maybe it's the "boxiness" of the hull?

Ok, new update! nothing special, added some details here and there and made the gunbase more simple. I allso deleted those panels over the tracks in the front, as thei arnt really important. :)
