Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Gorby 🙂 The kit is quite well designed: I only had to remove main wheels to be able to paint them and scratch build the tail wheel. Also I added the rudimentary windscreen.

bughunterThat's quite a feat!
After you showed the kit, I mailed the company about a 1:48 version (the normal one would be enough for me) but even they produce 1:48 sailplanes I don't get an answer 🙁
May be some other mates can ask them too?

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Villiers! Thank you, Bughunter! Perhaps we should ask them indeed.

Alec KVery nice Robert, I like it!
Bugs, you can scratch this in 1/48 in no time 😉👍

Alex KFantastic job, Robert, once again! 👍 👍 Great idea (and implementation) to go with a varnished wood fuselage, for this stripped-down Flea (and thanks for posting the relevant reference pics). Although I do have the old Aeroclub 1:72 Pou in my stash (still afraid to tackle it - but some day it will be built into the Greek Pou, now in the HAF museum, in Tatoi - as per my profile photo), you tempt me to also acquire this strip-down version... Last thing: can we perhaps also have a Size Comparison photo #4 with your 1:144 Pou? -

bughunterAlec, I also own the reference Book: Henri Mignet and His Flying Fleas (by Ken Ellis, Geoff Jones), but I prefer a kit over scratch work. At least as long as I have enough unbuilt kits.

Robert PodkońskiThanks for your kind comment, Alex K 🙂 Sure, I will take and post such a photo 🙂
(I own the book on Pou-du-Ciels by Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume 🙂 )

bughunterNo need to bomb LACI with questions for a 1:48 version anymore! It is already released 👍
It is not yet listed on LACIs homepage, but I ordered mine already on Aviationmegastore 🙂 At the monent still 4 available, hurry up!
Added it to the SM database and look forward to the build!

Robert PodkońskiThat's a great news! I cannot wait to see it assembled by you 🙂 And the book is a treasure-den of photos.
