I have started making some kits of sport gliders and sailplanes (not military/troop carrying gliders). There seems to be two major challenges, finding the kits and placing the orders (over the internet). I have successfully ordered a Horten IV and a Blanik from Squadron.com with no problems, but have had problems with LMShop of Italy and MALA of Germany. LMShop seem to have disappeared from the Internet and MALA sent me an automated acknowledgement but have not followed up by taking payment or shipping the order. Since the MALA site is all in German and I speak only English, I think there may be a language problems. So, my questions are:
Does anyone know a site, preferably English speaking, where I can buy the PZW Siedlce range of 1/72 glider kits, Jantar, Bocian, Foka, etc.?
Has anyone dealt with LMShop or MALA? Do they respond to English Language orders?
Other sites I have found with gliders are Hannants and Luchtvaart Hobby Shop. There are also several sites that sell the Ardpol range of gliders, but they are 1/48 and at the moment I am more interested in
1/72. Does anyone know of other sites that sell 1/72 gliders?Is anyone aware of 1/72 kits of any Slingsby gliders (other than the Kite, T21 and Cadet), Schleicher K6E or ASW-15, ASK-13, or any other more modern glider.
Thanks for your help
