Good looking build there Les. You always churn out some nice stuff to look at. This is no exception! Thanks, Russell

Hi Les ,

really nice work! I remember the building of my Academy Me-163, I really enjoyed it! And after all what I can see see here you had some fun here too!

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi Les,
it's a really nice model. If you could take some extra time and take new shots according to the rules you could enter June Model of the Month Contest.

Here's a link.

Thanks Russell, Sabastian, and Michal!

Here are a couple pics of the Schue-Schlepper that was included in the Academy kit.

I see You are secretly building up a new Lufftwaffe Nice work, Its good the weathering is not overdone. I wonder how the rear cockpit looked from the insede. The instructor must have been sitting directly on the rocket.

This variant was a glider given that the instructor's cockpit took up the space where the rocket engine was mounted.

Les, this would look terriffic in the Model of the Month contest. Go ahead, send me some pictures. All the cool kids are doing it.

Thanks Naseby and Jessie!

Jessie,
I have two other new Komets I finished this month, one of them is in 1/48 scale. Maybe one of them might be entered in the contest, right now the toughest thing is being able to get outside and get pictures of the new models because wet weather is predicted for the next few days. Where I live we sometimes don't get much of a dry summer.

It's okay. For the contest I need the pictures against a neutral tone backdrop which you can easily do indoors.
And I know all about your summers, because I'm not all that far North of you...
