I see some copy of the glider kit on Facebook second hand markets .
Some wip picture:
Fixed windows in the wings, out of my usual will just paint the inner in black, otherwise the wings structures must be scratched ..not this time
Wings tips glued to upper central section with plastic sheet spacers to avoid steps between upper sections
Tail structure without movable rudders
Flaps under pressure ..finished clips to glue the fourth too
Occupied surface of kitchen table

It's just 72 scale
Progress of tonight:
Finished to fill wing windows with plastic scraps ,then painted the inner wing in black instead to scratch too many invisible structures and glued last central piece of wings
Nose halves with glued structures
Painted numbers to easy identity engines nacelles when will glued to wings
6x engines ,nacelles and cowlings
Vertical fixed rudder part
And wheels
That's all for today

BSY, what a great start! I have the 321 - you are tempting me. make it stop, make it stop.
Paul, I, too, wondered how it did fly every time I see one.

It's an opportunity to have the larger GB about Messerschmitt Lyle , going on Guinness book

Also if B&V is included in the ME series someone could sign in a bv-222 or 238.... Almost a 138 sounds well

BTW put a nesserschmitt on the table
