LukGraph 1/32 BE.2c coming late January 2022

I might have to set aside some funds!

A 1/32 BE2c has been on my wish list...  well, forever!

Cheers,

Łukasz has just shown me this little teaser photo...

We have now exchanged emails with Lukasz who is aware of the Forum and following us with interest.

I have assured him we are happy to use the Forum to promote his Lukgraph products.

We wish him the very best for all his models and his forthcoming Be2c is an assured best seller.

I'm sure the kit will, in relative terms, be worth the money. I like the idea of reinforced struts (anyone thinking after market reinforced struts for all the WNW, Roden Meng, CS etc would be viable?)  and the building process is close enough to injection plastic once everything is removed and cleaned up. What I do see is a relatively short life span as far as availability is concerned, ie Sopwith Baby is gone, so injection manufacturers  may want to wait but not forget the Be.2C.

I believe CSM is doing the Sopwith Baby. Not sure who would take on these 2 seaters as injection moulds but I’d support anyone willing.

On January 6 LukGraph provided an update on the BE.2c project on Facebook, thanks to Mike "Sandbagger" Norris for bringing it to our attention!

The project of the RAF BE2c model in 1:32 scale is entering its final phase. A few elements from the set on the render. The project should be completed in mid-January. Final renders coming soon.

Iasked if Lukasz had the BE.2f in his future:

I have not checked if there are differences between C and F- if the model "F" can be based on "C", it is quite possible. Thank you

I explained the basic differences I'm aware of and shared a few photos I've taken of A1325, and will give him a link to Jamo's photos of the same airframe. Fingers crossed as that would be the one I'd love to build!

I have to say, Personally, I'm struggling to see why anyone (aside from financial considerations) would NOT invest in this kit.

I know I will!

Well, for me, it's likely to be a tricky kit to rig so I want to be sure I won't have trouble with resin struts - so I'd be likely to replace them with scratch built ones in brass. That commits me to work I wouldn't expect in an IM kit

Which makes an expensive kit in an unfamiliar material rather a non-starter for me.

My view is heavily coloured by building a Battleaxe Fokker D.VII ages ago

Hi Richard,
'LukGraph' kits have metal reinforcing rods in all struts and any other parts that require support.
So worries about the strength of the parts shouldn't be of concern,

I shared a link to Jamo's walkaround of A1325, completely forgetting that his work was a big part in the development of the BE.2c kit! Hopefully that happens in the future as, given the choice, I would prefer an "f". But that doesn't lessen my excitement to follow the development of the "c" and see members here build it.

My view is heavily coloured by building a Battleaxe Fokker D.VII ages ago

Richard, I can't speak from experience but based on what I've seen Battleaxe and LukGraph are leagues apart in terms of quality and ease of build!

I'm sure they are - the scars run deep though...

Full Renders of the completed model are now on Lukgraphs Facebook page!

Looks Awesome!

I sense with the fast turnaround of the new releases of  1/32 WWI airplanes, Lukgraph is taking the leading post and the other competing companies are just missing the train. I just over one-year Lukgraph released 3 or 4 plus kits, which is a milestone for a resin small company. Unfortunately, they are not affordable and produced at a premium price for the elite modeling market. I really hope that  is not a deterrent to these competing companies in producing the same kit ( injected plastic)  but a cheaper price and  outstanding quality

Lukgraph have released final renders of their forthcoming 1/32 Be2c. It looks to re-define large scale modelling!







Release details soon.
