I saw somewhere the figure of 499 Euros mentioned, but don?t know if that?s confirmed. Would certainly be a centrepiece!

I hope I am wrong, but based on the new 1/24 kits, I think 499 will be understated. You are right about this being the centerpiece of any collection, and I commend Lukgraph (loyal customer for a while).

Ooohhh.......now that is a very nice way to present a kit. I must say Lukgraph has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, every new release is noticably better than the last. Having recently recieved their Brandenburg C1, the quality is fantastic. NO print lines on my copy. Am building the Lohner seaplane atm and the fit and finish of the parts is spot on. (Am using Przmol's awesome build log for that along with the Datafile book. )  Regards, Pete in RI

I would be very interested in a "stand-alone" kit of the engine  :D

With the reputation of Lukegraph that would be gem!

...I just don't have the space to assemble or store the thing.....

Me neither, but I want one anyway!

Willem

With pain in my heart I must revisit my earlier statement. 500 euros is just a bit too pricy for me... :-\

Hi all,
Latest from Lukgraph,

Mike

In addition to printing this giant, you also need to find time to make assembly instructions - that's also a lot of work.
In this model, we focus on durability.
The wings are triple reinforced with 2 mm steel wires (the wires will be included in the set).
All the struts and the landing gear are the same - everywhere reinforced with 0.8 mm steel wire.
Just in case, we will include 2 trestles for the skids on the lower wings in the set.

aw man that is killing me - this is one of my most wanted subjects but the cost. I wish they had a "light" version of the kit minus the figures and big wooden box for cheaper.....
