Nice work from that kit Christian – did you vac-form the canopy yourself?

Thank You Mike! The rear part of the canopy was a blister package for cyano glue. Fits perfect! 🙂

Very nice build, but I'm sorry to say that.... As far as I know, this plane was made out of wood ..... And its colour should be cream, as for sailplanes

Thank You Julian! This was exactly what I was waiting for. 🙂 All the models I found on the web were painted in cream or even in pink. While taking a closer look to the few pics of the original plane, I believe that the colour of this one was RLM01. Many planes made out of wood were painted in this colour.

A very well done, particularly for such a small model! I just got through reading "Rocket Fighter" by Mano Ziegler. It took some brave (or fool hearty) men to fly those aircraft.

@Bill: Many thanks for Your kind words. I know Mano Ziegler`s book very well. The original issue is dated from the 60 th and I have it in my stash for years 🙂
