The LINC is actually a different architecture, and was born slightly
before the PDP-5 (the PDP-8's "dad"); so it's not a PDP8++. DEC
later designed the LINC-8, which was sort of a LINC and a PDP-8 sharing
the same apartment, and later the PDP-12 which could intermingle the
two different instruction sets.
But if you're looking for a hex-based 12-bit architecture to play with,
the LINC architecture probably isn't what you're looking for either. :)
