Bloomin' heck! That will be mahoosive. A favourite of mine, for a moment my wallet trembled but I just don't have the space to assemble or store the thing.....

That is quite an ambitious release.

You could always build an extension  ;D
 (Mind you we'd have to have and extra table at shows to display the bloomin' thing) ;)

Don?t we live in the golden times of modeling? I am really looking forward to this one, but I am also looking forward to Lukgraph?s Hansa-Brandenburg C. I, Rumpler C. I, Morane Saulnier L, ?.

Sandy, my "day job" is landscape painting, and among painters the standing joke is "the biggest picture always gets the prize..." :D

This is an amazing release. We are truly living in the Golden Age of WWI modeling.

That is great news. I am planning one to be bought and built.

That would be lovely, but I am afraid not. In fact not so many of these kits are actually being built.

When Lukgraph was taking a poll of kits people wanted to see them do, I put in this one (along with the Zeppelin  Staaken), with no hope of it being done. My stash at this point is of biblical proportions, but I will be compelled to buy this  one! And the Staaken ;) :D :o

Collaboration or coincidence?
KatModel have had the same subject suggested on their home page for some time. It cannot be economic for several manufacturers to produce a model of this size, so perhaps it?s a case of first to market wins the day?

Just to get warmed up:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XvoblHejiSuBNN-0I6pYGASGQsjXZYKX/view?usp=sharing

This is an article (tekst, photographs and drawings) I found in magazine 'ZEITSCHRIFT FUR FLUGTECHNIK UND MOTORLUFTSCHIFFAHRT 9. JAHRGANG 1918 + 10. JAHRGANG 1919'

Have fun,

Willem

Hi all,
Update from Lukgraph.

Mike

There are no previews of the Ca.3 yet, as soon as I have the chance I will definitely show them.
I can only add that for the first time in the history of LukGraph, figures will be added to the model.
It will be the entire crew of the Caproni Ca.3, 2 gunners and 2 pilots.
