RAF BE.2c - 1709 (1/32, Lukgraph)
« on: March 06, 2025, 05:54:06 AM »
It is the Lukgraph model in the new full 3D print incarnation built to represent 1709 from RFC 8. Sqn, as seen in Marieux in February 1916 (a photo in the Windsock Datafile 42).
Modifications included: electric cables for RAF 1 engine, lengthened interplane struts, three-drum ammo container, aerial antenna with its reel, scratched control horns for all surfaces, scratched step, bungee cords for the undercarriage and rigging.

I have been following your build and am always impressed by you skill in handling delicate parts and making new ones from scratch. That is another mini-masterpiece of an iconic type - just marvellous.

Absolutely beautiful in all aspects. Not an easy build, your modelling skills shone through and the overall finishing is superb. I really like your subtle approach to post shading, it's very effective. It gives that visual interest without being over the top. Thanks for sharing you build stages as well.

Outstanding! Very inspiring work Przemo! I saw one of the Be2E/F kits listed on a FB Auction site and your build almost got Me to Pull the trigger  8) My sanity returned when I realized just How good you are!
