Image
   Today's photos showing a 1/48 scale SG-38 Schulgleiter model came all the way from Poland by a modeller named Woiciech Sokolovski. He used our   SH48139   SG-38 / ŠK-38 ‘Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany’ kit set and so we would like to thank you Woiciech very very much.    And what also needs to be mentioned, the range of the SG-38 glider kits covers also German and Slovakian schemes - kit no.   SH48141  or even by far more exotic option, British-built  EoN Eton/SG-38, kit no.  SH48198 , with decals for gliders used in the UK, Belgium, France and Sweden. And last but not least, why not also get a pilot for your glider model? Well, figure  F48300  is here for you :-)
