LSP_Kevin Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Howdy folks, I've just published my review of the Lukgraph Seahawk kit: Lukgraph 32-03: 1/32 Curtiss F7C-1 Seahawk Enjoy! Kev scvrobeson, Harold and Zero77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks Kev, for your exellent review! Yet another aircraft I would never dreamed of to appear in kit form. Now, how about that Douglas O-38P floatplane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) KevExcellent review and thank goodness another wonderful large scale kit kit from my favorite period of aviation: The Golden Age - The Between the War Years. I've purchased all three of Lukgraphs kits ( will be doing a review of the Sperry Messenger this week) and am thrilled with all three kits. My kits have wonderful details and the reinforcing rods in the wings and struts are an welcome touch. As soon as I finish my underway projects: The Jug and Spitfire, the plan is to clean the bench and enjoy building the F7C-1 Seahawk.Peter Edited November 15, 2015 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the review Kev ! A great kit with no doubt. I really love their "between the wars" subjects. I hope to start mine at the end of the year, but hem, i already said that for about 3 or 4 other kits...

OldTroll Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I might have just been "lucky" but the parts on the kit I received seem a bit cleaner (more flash-free) that those in your photos. At any rate, I definitely recommend the three 1/32 subjects released so far and look forward to Lukgraph's upcoming between the wars subjects.

Guest Peterpools Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Ron Same here ... Fantastic kits and the perfect era for me. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Very cool subject, but the quality of the casting needs some work. The moulding seams on the engine cylinders look quite prominent, and the panel lines definitely need filling, sanding and re-scribing, far more finely. Not quite Silver Wings quality.

LSP_Ray Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Nice review, Kev! A very interesting set of aircraft they are modeling; very esoteric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very cool subject, but the quality of the casting needs some work. The moulding seams on the engine cylinders look quite prominent, and the panel lines definitely need filling, sanding and re-scribing, far more finely. Not quite Silver Wings quality. I dont want to discuss which one is better between Lukgraph and Silver Wings, but all i can is that i have a lot of SW kits and 2 Lukgraph kits, that i'm building a P-6E and made a quick in-box review of the F-7C a few weeks ago, and the surface details and engraving quality is quite similar. And like Ron, it seems that my kit had a slightly better moulding than Kev's one. At least no one can say that Lukgraph would cheat selecting the better parts for the review !

OldTroll Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't want to discuss which one is better between Lukgraph and Silver Wings... I agree totally with that sentiment. I can honestly say, though, that the Lukgraph F7C-1 is better than the F7C-1 by SW. On the other hand, the SW Fokker D.XXI is superior to the one produced by Lukgraph. I will purchase any 1/32 product from both those excellent model makers. (Yes, Simon, I am still saving for the four SW missing from my collection.)

I love this polish way of making kits ! That's funny to see this proper identity. One can almost guess from where a kit come from. Japanese, Czech, Polish, Chinese, British, American...
