- Just coming out of the "box"...Immaculate condition, most likely better than brand new! Yes, that is a "Baby Bowlus" in the background...
- The "Front Office, complete with seat padding...
- Installation of the tail feathers...No easy job!

At the 2016 International Vintage Sailplane Museum's (I.V.S.M.) Regatta, held at Harris, Hill New York, U.S.A. to my total surprise, a trailer opened up to reveal a full scale "LUNAK"! Needless to say I took many photos of this rare bird as well as the time to meet the owner/pilot. We became friends. and he related the story of how this bird still exists and how it came to the United States...So filled with inspiration, including 2 pages of photos published in issue No. 96 of Novinky, I had to build a model of the only flyable "LUNAK" in the United States.
As far as changes or corrections to the AZ model...there were none required, or at least none that would be noticed in this scale...AZ Models has produced an excellent kit! However, there were many modifications included in the build for presentation purposes, including the Cutting of all flight control surfaces, Detailing the cockpit, cutting the canopy and installing it in the open position, Developing the artwork and making each of the decals and lettering on the full scale aircraft.
I enjoyed the building of this kit, and I hope you like the attached photos...
