Completed: 1/32 Revell ASK-21 (kit #04224)

I'm a student glider pilot, and I built this model as a Christmas gift for one of my instructors.  It portrays an aircraft that he instructs in for the Civil Air Patrol.  The kit is well thought-out and builds nicely.  Hopefully Revell will make another production run sometime. Other than a few other odds and ends in the cockpit, etc.  it's pretty much an out-of-the-box build.  Tamiya acrylic paints, Testors semi-gloss.  The all white paint job taught me all sorts of new "clean room" techniques.  It was very hard to get FOD free coverage.  

This last picture shows the ASK-21 with the other glider model I built in parallel: a Duo Discus for my other instructor.

See THIS LINK for pictures and info on the Duo Discus.

Windhawk:

Very nice, I've got the LS- 8 and the Discus in my stash.  I want to pick up the ASK too.  I want to build a gaggle in a thermal hanging from the ceiling. I initially flew sailplanes with CAP in the early 70's.  

Best,Marty

Good Modeling,

You are so right about the FOD, and it's a big bird too.

That's a fine model.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
