Robert PodkońskiAbsolutely great - are these smiling faces and the name on the gondola included in the kit or these are your own creations? I would love to have one on my shelf too...;)

Story:
In the autumn of 1950, the glider ŠK-38 "Komár" was delivered to the Přibyslav Aero Club. The glider was delivered with a nacelle for the pilot. In the spring of 1951 a surprise was waiting for Lada in the hangar. On the gondola was written the word "Lark" and on the wing and the supporting triangle was drawn a laughing face. His friends had painted this marking on him, because Lada always flew over the airport like a bird and came out of the plane with a beatific smile on his face. The machine was deleted from the register in 1954.
