KP 1/72 Grob Astir CS-77 Jeans

Post by BorgR3mc0 »

This the first of several Grob aircraft that I intend to build (I also have some resin kits).
The KP kit is pretty easy but is a short run. There are some moulding glitches and the canopy doesn’t fit very well.

I have added tape seatbelts and a copper wire pitot tube. The rest is straight out of the box. Decals where surprisingly good.

Very nice little glider and the qtip really shows how small it is.

Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall

Bravo Remco! The Q-tip really puts the build into perspective and shows the level of finesse in your work on this build.

Thanks guys! I must say I am also quite happy with the pitot tube. It is tiny but it really adds to the whole.

Wow, little dude! I did a 1/200 dc-3 that was about the same size. I've seen a couple gliders recently and it's sparking my interest. Need one for the stash. Nice job!

What the hell? Can't see Borg's images as well. What's going on? I know I have my antivirus active.

Pure perfection. The crisp red and the white, on that sexy, slim airframe. Reminds me of my wife. Catch a thermal and fly up to the stratosphere. Lovely.
