PrzemoL:
The brand new Lukgraph resin/3D-print kit lands on my bench. I will build 46.37 known from two photos taken after an accident when the rear fuselage was broken. It is not known if it was repaired.

I started with the 3D print engine. The material is quite hard and brittle, it does yield to cutting with razor saw but the trees are vulnerable to breaking and in some cases small cavities in the elements are formed, which require filling, I use liquid CA glue for that. The 3D printed elements have visible print layers at some spots but a couple of sessions with primer and sanding can repair this to an acceptable level. I am at the third session now and it seems that the fourth one will be required.









I am still not sure how to approach the painting. Yet, I am quite sure that I will not dare to cut this engine into pieces. So probably a lot of tedious masking and brush retouches, which I detest, will be required.

Alexis:
Have my attention , been looking forward to this for a while now .

Engine detail is lovely but yeah , going to be tricky painting it  :o

I can see this kit will have its challenges.

KiwiZac:
A promising start and an interesting kit. Thanks for sharing Prze, I shall be following with interest.

lone modeller:
What a super engine - an excellent start indeed. But I do not envy you painting it....although we all know that it will look extremely good when you have finished it.
