This was made from an early 1980's Polish kit of a Polish glider, the SZD 41 Jantar Standard. It's a "what if" basically. I created the livery from imagination and used old decals from race car kits. Painted with shithouse acrylic "craft paints" and finally finished off with matte clear. I delighted in putting many combustion engine and likewise related advertisements on it.

One heck of a paintjob there, great finish

Thanks! Pretty fun build aside from the canopy being oversized in every dimension. Fixing THAT was a PITA but otherwise a fairly straight forward affair. I have another somewhere that I'd like to make into a third racer.

Nice job Brad, this is one subject that I would not build myself but I enjoy seeing other's efforts.

Thank you, Ray. I have noticed that these sorts of gliders aren't everyone's' cup of tea.

Looks good! Interesting choice of decals.

Thanks!! Stuff like that has certain "mainstream" builders shaking their head and thinking I'm a tool but I think it's great fun. Most of these adverts would never be anywhere near something with no engine, racing or not, which is exactly why I put them there!
