Hi all,
Released on the 'Lugraph' Facebook page,

Mike

The kits will include a lot of extras (decals, turnbuckles, spoked wheels, photo-etched parts, etc.)

WOW did not see that coming!

Wondering what they will cost but I imagine they will be packed with detail....

Interesting move. Personally, I really love the big scale, but given the tepid response to the MENG / WNW Dr.I, not many others seem to share my enthusiasm...

Agreed, I feel like the Meng 1/24 DrI is one of the best kits I have of any WW1 subject - it is super nice - but you are correct you don't see much talk about it

1/24 leaves me kinda cold. I bought the Merit SE5a, with all its faults (twin drums on a lewis!!!!) thinking I'd go to town on it, but my enthusiasm just died and I sold it on. For me 1/32 is perfect: big enough for lots of detail, available figures and good choice of subjects - and mostly they'll still sit on the shelf!
Still, the guys that like to enter competitions will likely buy all the limited run, so probably a good move for LukG.
