LUKGRAPH has released it's debut model.
The model is a 1/72 scale Boulton - Paul P-12 Bodmin.
Item no. 72-01
LUKGRAPH is a new company from Poland and has just released a resin model of a British experimental bomber designed by Boulton-Paul Ltd. In 1924.
There were only two P-12 Bodmin's produced.
As you can see in the attached photographs inside the box we find not only resin castings, decals and assembly instruction but also a photo-etched fret.
On the photo-etched fret you will find the usual details for this medium:- instrument panel, seat belts and other detail parts.
What is note worthy in this first release is the reinforcing with metal rods of all struts, landing gear and other parts carrying the models weight,this will prevent any bending of the parts under pressure, model weight or temperature. We've seen this many times in larger scales such as 1:32 and 1:48, but keep in mind this is the 1:72 scale.
All parts come packed in a sturdy top-opening cardboard box. Resin parts are shipped inside plastic bags to help prevent damage and loss of parts.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

Another in the Looonnnnggggg line of interwar Britsh aircraft that defined the term UGLY to its fullest extent. Having said that... I have a friend who use to win free flight peanut scale (Balsa & Paper -rubber band power) contests with with the uglyest Britsh biplane he could find. Eleven inch wing span, and as close to scale as possible. He built wind tunnel models for Sikorsky Aircraft... before computers. Captn Tommy
