PrzemoL Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Here is my attempt at the spectacular but very demanding Lukgraph kit. The model presents L75 from the first production batch of Tl type delivered in November 1915 to Pula naval base. The kit is spectacular but some amendments were necessary imho - oil tank with installation, fuel lines to the carburettor, throttle control rods and a couple of differently led rigging lines. Also the kit options L127 and L135 should have Rapp engine - that was why I chose L75 which was powered by the Hiero engine included in the kit. All in all it was a great modeling adventure and I do not remember building a more difficult model. Note that it is not a complaint about the kit, it just resulted from the intricacy of the Lohner flying boats structure.

mozart Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 What a spectacular model that is, absolutely wonderful! The rigging alone looks beautifully done, but what a scary prospect when confronted with it all. Fantastic work, very many congratulations on an epic build.

And to my knowledge Rapp, Hiero and Austro Daimler are all different engines. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
