Oh that’s nice!  Too bad it’s in the wrong scale though.  I like the early type exhaust on it.

That is looking mighty nice (as if Lukasz was capable of anything but!). I'm glad to see it in 1/48, that's more my speed right now.

It's encouraging to know that folks are out there who have picked up the large-scale WW1 torch after WnW was flung into the Outer Void, Where There is Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth.

Back in the early 1970s I never could have imagined a 1:32 Halberstadt einsitzkampfer, so it's great to see that such a thing exists (or will soon exist). But no matter how cool they are, USD $250 is way out of my price range. I'll look forward to seeing what kind of magic you work with it, though, Mike :)

Hi all,
Update from 'Lukgraph'

The model kit will include decals for 3 paint schemes.
Additionally, there will be two registrations "H" and "8" for the Khaki-brown camouflage version.
The decal with crosses separately and with a ready-made white background will provide the modeler with a choice depending on the preferred technique.
For those interested, we will send a design of vector masks for cutting with a plotter (cutting on your own)

Interesting - I could be interested in this one if it indeed releases in 1/48. I still have the Blue Max kit in the stash somewhere, that i've intended to build for, oh, the past 20 years...  ;D

Cheers

Not wishing to steal anyone’s thunder but this is now available for pre-order in 1/32 and 1/48.
Looking at the spread of parts, it appears we may have the same issues with rib tapes and wing reinforcements (as the Hanriot)

Did anyone else notice that there were both Mercedes and Argus engines?  :)

Picture #5 on their site shows two engines, but the box states "Mercedes D II Engine", not sure if there is another boxing in the future or if both engines are included. I purchased the Friedrichshafen FF.33L, it too showed two engines (one painted one on the tree), it only had one (all it needed).  Regards, Juan
