The next project will be this old tool Italeri Horsa glider. My first glider, so here's hoping it will be a good experience. 🙂

Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Welcome along Robert, Nicolas & J35J, nice to have you with me. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Neil, Chris & J35J. 👍

I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍
