The final gallery of my attempt at the spectacular but very demanding Lukgraph kit. The model presents L75 from the first production batch of Tl type delivered in November 1915 to Pula naval base.
The kit is spectacular but some amendments were necessary imho - oil tank with installation, fuel lines to the carburettor, throttle control rods and a couple of differently led rigging lines. Also the kit options L127 and L135 should have Rapp engine - that was why I chose L75 which was powered by the Hiero engine included in the kit.
All in all it was a great modeling adventure and I do not remember building a more difficult model. Note that it is not a complaint about the kit, it just resulted from the intricacy of the Lohner flying boats structure.

Well that's a spectacular model from a spectacular kit. It was a real pleasure to follow the thread and see your careful preparation. Mind blowing!

Przemol,
Excellent work on this demanding model. Your final product is a work of art!
-
Terrific outcome, very informative build log and a very nice airplane in general. Really great all around!
I for myself had thought I‘ve read that they changed the unreliable Rapp engines for Hieros as soon as they were available. But I cannot remember where I‘ve read this.

Excellent work, bravo :) :) :)

It looks unbelievable. Like an ancient bird. The workmanship is a true masterpiece. I'm delighted.

Triumphantly brought home, Prz, what a cracker!
When they are as difficult as this, the result is all the sweeter.
Great dramatic colours too.
Sandy

Well done Prz
I think I have used up all the complementary words in the English language on your previous builds. Another great build to the same great standard.

A superb model, Przemol. One can see it's quite complicated and the detail you have put in makes it more so. The exposed engine is a model in itself.
-
Truly magnificent, Prze. Something to admire for a long time.
Cheers,
Gary

An Absolutely Beautiful Model in all Aspects Przemo! Truly inspiring build!

Your Lohner model is truly outstanding, Prez -
Excellent wood tones on the fuselage

Truly breathtaking work Prze, what a beauty. I know you encountered difficulties along the way but the finished model betrays none of those - bravo my friend!

Thank you everyone for the kind welcome to my model.

The engine exchange was surely possible but unfortunately all the photos of L127 and L135, which I have seen, show it with Rapp engine.

Truly a master class :),

I followed your log and that alone was a lesson in perseverance and skill. The extra details make this an outstanding model. I am always in awe of your models, and this one leaves me admiring your work all the more.

Outstanding as always!
-
Thank you, Mike, Stephen and Brad. I appreciate your kind comments very much.

Holy Cow...definitely something to shoot for. I do believe this thing has more rigging than a Farman! The sparrow could not get out of those wings and struts!
Astounding...Dan
-
Great build, Przemek. As it was easy to foresee.
Your opinion about difficulty of this model frightened me a little.
During my adventure, one eye will stare at the model, the other one - on Your workshop.
BTW, I've mailed with Lukgraph owner asking if he' going to change the engine to Rapp. He said there are no such plans in coming future.
That's it.

Thanks a lot, Dan and von Salza.

Well over 100 lines, comparable with FE2b ;)

I know, I know. So building the lovely museum example L125 requires scratching the engine...

Wonderful model, excellent finish!
Really love this boat.

Consistently Wonderful work fom you !

Thank you, Joachim and Ed, I am glad you like my L75 :)
