Matt, you mean like THIS one? Oh this is a nice subject also.

Certainly an interesting subject for me. Just might give it a try over the winter as a break from my normal WW11 & Jets. Although I never heard of this company before. Joel

I'm really interested in giving these kits a try. I went to their web site, but there are no prices listed. Any idea of what these kits go for? Joel

I guess I just got the bug, so I ordered one along with my brother who placed the order. The kit costs a mere $99, so it ain't cheap. Lets see: I've never built a resin model before. I've never built a bi-plane before. I've never rigged an aircraft other then a few antenna wires. Yep. Sure sounds like I have this build well under control. It's going to be my next build after the PV-1 Ventura. Joel

Hi Joel Neat! Can you write us a review when it arrives? All the best Rowan

Joel, L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace! I look forward to your Seahawk.

Rowan, My main interest in aviation modeling has always been WW11. I do stray from time to time to favorite jets, but really prefer something with a prop up front. I've also had a "closet" interest in USA aircraft from between the wars; Godlen Era of Aviation, but never built a single model from that era. When I saw that Lukgraph was producing high quality resin kits from that era, the bug just bit, so I ordered the 1st of hopefully a run of kits. I'll be glad to do a build review or even a build blog from the perspective of a complete Newbie. Just no guarantees that it reaches the finish line. Joel
