When I saw one of these models online I knew I would build one. My favorite subjects at this time are civilian gliders and sailplanes, which comes from another hobby, radio controlled sailplanes.
This is a 1/48 scale LF-107 Lunak, built in the 1950's. The kit is a ModelA small production run kit from the 1980's, since that time its been made by a couple other companies. I found a Brengun PE plate for it which really enhances the basic kit, which includes the extended air brakes and cockpit detail. The pitot tube on the nose is brass tubing and I turned the wheel from aluminum on my lathe. The wooden nose skid is a strip of walnut. I really enjoyed this build and look forward to finding more sailplane model kits.
