Robert PodkońskiReally a pretty one. Congrats! How do you find the quality of parts? (did they need much cleaning, was there any warping, etc.?)

KonradRobert - long story... It's a resin kit so some filling and sanding is obvious 😉 I had to straighten the wing (HOT water was helpful) - not everything is superb now, but it looks like resin (especially thin parts) has its own memory 🙁 Worst was canopy - quite well vacuformed but plastic was YELLOW. I had to prepare my own template (not so good as CMR one for sure) and vacuform new canopy. At the end - it's not a bad kit, but some work on it is needed.

Alex KCongrats for continuing your wonderful, growing SP-registered gliders collection! I aspire to someday follow your example with the SX-registered gliders... (including a number of Polish-made ones: Mucha, Bocian, Jantar, Puchacz - I've a had a flight, once, in the latter...). Keep up the good work - once again, thumbs up! 👍 👍

Album info
Schleicher Rhönadler (1932) - renovatet and registered in Poland after II World War. Registration number is real but painting is just an attempt at reconstruction (no photos of this type of glider were available for me).
