Hello,
I just picked up the model: D. As promised on Friday I will show the contents of the box. Only what can I say at the moment that I am very but very surprised by the quality.

Hello,
I want to show everyone the new Lukgraph Resin Kits model - Sopwith Baby in 1/32 scale.
I will not describe the history of the aircraft, anyone who is interested in it will get the news alone  :)
So let's start  :) :
At the beginning of :

BOX - it is extremely small compared to other manufacturers and containing a large amount of details as shown in the pictures





Then we start looking at the details and we start with: the hull - it is made very carefully, seam lines are visible, the hull scaffolding is slightly outlined and inspection hatches. As for the material itself, it is very delicate and very thin as seen in one of the pictures.




We have two engine covers, and here there is a "small" problem - it is not known which version to be painted should be checked, and there it turns out that it is not known until after looking at the hull, everything is slightly explained (you can check the instructions).


We now move to the WINGS:
they are made almost the same as with WnW or CSM, except that it must be borne in mind that it is resin. The ribbing lines are very delicate and just look beautiful. The only objections I can have are a slight surface roughness.


Ballasts offer the same quality as wings


FLOATS:
They are made as one element and have a very nice outline.


ENGINE:
It is made entirely in 3D format and what can be said here is simply beautiful.



The same applies to rifles and bombs




"Small" parts
Braces, interior parts and small parts of the hull - what to write here are beautifully reproduced and whether everything is OK, it will turn out during assembly.



Now photo-etched parts and decals.



In the next post, instructions and general observations.

Instructions and my impressions













Conclusions:
The model for a resin presents a high level and it can be said that competition for powers like WNW and CSM is getting underway. However, there are some small shortcomings associated with the material which is resin, but so are the models made in this technology.
I have reservations about the lack of descriptions of individual details and parts. The manual seems to be at a high level but has small to medium shortcomings as is the case with the engine cover version. You can also have reservations about the lack of at least a description of a given painting when and where it was used, but the inquisitive can find it, however, should be signed to paint versions.
We have already got used to the lack of a paint producer, so it is not a lack.

Summing up, I recommend this model to everyone, regardless of small shortcomings that will improve over time (I hope), all the more because Lukgraph is my native company

Including wire for the engine pushrods and templates for the windshields is a nice plus.

Looks like a beautiful kit produced to a high standard.  Definitely fills a gap for the 1/32nd crowd.
