The demo was to check the geometry and fit of the struts, so there is no cabin interior and other details and PE. Everything fits perfectly. Full model kitset should be ready in 2 weeks. I will probably put it in the store www.lukgraph.pl next week with a pre-order option with a shipping time of 4 to 12 weeks. All details (resin parts, 3D printed parts, PE, decals, mask, schemes, instruction in about 2 weeks. Are you ready for it ? greetings Lukasz" V.P.

Homebee Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Schemes Source: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2662432800737443&set=a.1464998240480911 Quote And so, for several months of work, I reached the finish line. This is almost the last post that announces Hawker Nimrod. The next post will be a ready set with information that it is available in the online store. Here are 3 paint schemes that will be in the sets (2 British decals, Japanese masks). By the way, which cover do 32 or 48 like more? Thanks for all the comments - cheers V.P.

JohnT Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Sir Sydney Camm did design some rather nice looking aircraft and the Nimrod was no exception 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkp Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Really looking forward to this one. I'm also hoping that LukGraph follows it up with a Hawker Fury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawker Nimrod Mk.1, 1:32 scale is ready. The set includes: - Resin parts: fuselage, top, central and lower wings, horizontal and vertical tail wings. All rest are 3D printed parts. Wings are reinforced by steel rod. -3D printed parts (described below). Prints are secured in an additional box. - Decals (screen printed) two of british painting schemes, - Mask for Japanese export version, and british side belts. - Color manual (16 pages) - Photo-etched parts (over 50 elements) - Copper rod (130 mm x 1,2 mm) as hook and stand element. - Laser cutted cabine (mounted in PE frame) x 2 - Self-adhesive sticker cut as an instrument panel x 2 3D parts: There are several innovations: - grate-interior in one piece (it will save a lot of time searching for geometry and cleaning) - main cooler also in 1 piece - the exhaust pipe collector was originally supposed to be made of photo-etched sheets but in the end I made it 3D - it turned out very well. - control panel integrated with the compass When I was preparing 3D prints, I used the minimum number of supports to guarantee a printout, so you can cut all parts efficiently and without any problems. Overall, there are almost 50 parts of direct components from 3D printing. All the printed parts are described in detail in the model manual. Special thanks to Mr. Glijn Van Driessche for help with this project, photos and and good advice. Kit will be available in the online store: www.lukgraph.pl from Friday (tomorrow). Now the world is better Take care and thanks." ------------------------------------- V.P. Edited November 5, 2020 by Homebee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightpainter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It is brilliant and I should know since I helped out with walkaround photographs and advice. Lukasz is a very talented man and he put a lot of effort in this kit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iang Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm looking forward to this too. The colour scheme choice are appealing, though the second one for K2830 with the forward sloped blue carrier band is HMS Courageous, not Glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Mike Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 My 1/32 Nimrod arrived today, it's a rather fine thing. It's going to represent one end of an 'evolution of the Hawker single seat fighter' themed collection that will provide entertainment for the next couple of years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wow. That 1/48 kit looks awesome. I hadn't considered a 'between the wars' type for the stash but this looks too good to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I've looked here, I've looked there, but I cannot find a build review or just a build of the 1/48 kit online. Perhaps the 1/32 has overshadowed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
