<Shamim Zvonko Mohamed's question about sailplane kits deleted>

There are some models available. The best I've found is a Blanik

(L-13) made by Modela in 1/48. This is a really nice replica. I've
seen them around Houston quite a bit, but I don't know the 
distributor. I've also seen another Czech glider called a Lunak by
the same manufacturer.

There's also a Polish line of 1/72 gliders. I can't remember the 
manufacturer offhand -- If you need to know, email me at brooks@imsl.com

I've built a few of these. There's a Jantar, a Foka 5, and a Bocian
that I know of, plus a few more who names I didn't recognize.
