Testshots look great, but alas, it's too expensive for me too... :-\

Just to be fair, it is probably Very Reasonable for a LImited run resin kit this large and so well detailed  ;D

Yes, you are right Rick, development cost must be high for this kit.

And besides, I just bought the CSM Caudron G.III, so I'm not complaining. That is also a beautiful kit of a rarely modeled aircraft.

Looking at images of the Lukgraph Be2c it looks awesome and well worth the praise it is receiving.

However my fear is I have never tackled a 1/32 resin kit and at around $A240 I don't have enough confidence in my resin skills to risk such a large investment. I suspect  a few others might feel this way.

What we need is someone to do a build log in very simple steps to show us how to make this 1/32 resin kit and by doing so, encourage us to buy the Lukgraph kits which look to be outstanding.

I will certainly buy, build and show the progress on this kit. However it may take some time before this one gets to my bench. Yet, in the meantime, I have already presented here my build logs of a couple of resin kits including: Lublin R.XIII, Sopwith Baby and FF33L from Lukgraph. If these are not detailed enough, please let me know, I will gladly add more comments or answer any questions. Also, as my small Fokker D.VII build is coming to an end, I would like to declare, that my next build will be Lukgraph Lloyd and I will gladly show my progress on it, too.

All in all, resin kits are different and more difficult to build than plastic ones, but there is nothing to be scared of.

The Hawker Nimrod in 1/48 and 1/32 looks lovely too!

I can't help but wonder how  the hell they managed to 3d Print the engine in one piece!

Hi PrzemoL

Your Lukgraph resin builds are excellent and many thanks for posting them. They are very helpful.

I was not clear with my post- I am hoping someone will do a build log of the Lukgraph Be2c specifically, as a guide to others who are nervous at tackling such an amazing model, but have no experience in resin.

We wish Lukgraph the best for their kits as they certainly are top quality.

Dave, probable I was not clear in my writing. I just assumed that the resin kits and the way to build them is similar, be it FF33L or BE2c. So IMHO, if one wants to see how to tackle BE2c, I deem looking through the other builds might be very helpful and (maybe) enough.
Unfortunately BE2c will not come to my bench immediately, so I will not be able to show my build log right away.

Hi
Can anyone recommend buying a Lukgraph kit locally in Australia or overseas? Thanks:)

Hi Pup 7309

I believe you can order Lukgraph kits through Creative Models Australia but for direct sales you can buy direct from Lukgraph at:

Hi all,
Notified today that mine has been dispatched.
Also, they plan to release the E and F version in the near future,

Hi all,
Mine arrived in the UK this morning.
As expected another great kit,
With the impending release of the BE.2e and f as well as the Hansa-Brandenburg NW float plane, they are releasing kits quicker than we can build them.
A nice problem to have though.
The HB NW float plane will have a wingspan of 21" (533 mm),
