These 1/72 SG-38 Gliders came two-in-a-box from Kovozávody Prostejov. There are several different boxings depicting different versions, but all the box contents are the same, meaning you can build any variant from any boxing (with the right decals). I did one as the basic pre-war German training aircraft and the other as a Polish glider with the enclosed cockpit. They're really simple kits to put together, only 9 or 10 parts per model. Rigged with Uschi van der Rosten thread, turnbuckles from Bob's Buckles.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Silent partners
The shading of the wing ribs is beautiful Mike! The undersides really look like they are being illuminated by the sun shining through.
Please tell the green mottling on the second one is a decal and not hand painted. Please!

Re: Silent partners
Very nice, the camouflaged Polish version looks quite esoteric but makes for a good looking sailor

Re: Silent partners
Very delicate looking. Do they really glide? 
It'd be tempting to try.

Re: Silent partners
Stunning work as always Mike. The colour scheme of the Polish example looks rather eye boggling, I think I would have got a headache trying to paint that!

Re: Silent partners
Wonderful, I saw one of these fly at Shuttleworth, it looked absolutely terrifying to fly- the commentator, himself an experienced pilot, said that nothing on earth would get him on one of these.

Re: Silent partners
Not much I can add, Mike - the structure and fabric effect is just stunning.
