Maybe Lukgraph will offer financing?
I still want one (I use the old engineering 'spouse gating" - I never say no to her, so she never says no to me).
I just hope the price doesn't go over Paypal's limit ;)

According to 'Lukgraph':

By the way, right after the new year we're releasing Caproni Ca.3",

I am really looking forward to the Caproni. But I could go without these figures. I do not like figures that are just standing around, doing nothing.

Like the WNW F2a and Gothas, (which I had but then sold,) a Caproni would be just too large a model to be of any interest to me.

It probably does make sense for a short run manufacturer like Lukgraph who will likely sell enough to cover costs, but it will need to be fairly expensive to do so.
Anyway, best of luck to those who buy one, and I do hope to see one built up on the competition table.

Hi all,
Final renders.

'Lukgraph' say they hope to make this aircraft in 1:48th scale around the middle of this year,

So, who will make a conversion set to replicate the flying replica with its "flat" engines?  ;D

I'm interested to see folks' builds of these kits.

I posted on another forum, wondering what the kit would cost. This was the answer:

Re-mortgage, divorce settlement, and then the therapy costs.

Although the 1/48 is beyond tempting I have to discipline myself. I am trying not to buy more aircraft kits and instead build stuff I already have to get the stash down. I will however really enjoy seeing some of you guys building this in either scale.

Hi Nigel,
Well I still have the WNW Gotha, Felixstowe and AEG in my stash.
The Caproni Ca3 is probably bigger and bound to be more expensive.
Storing the finished model, let alone travelling to shows with it will be problematic as well.
But, never say never  ;)
