Wassmer WA-21 'Javelot' II'
WA-21 'Javelot' II ,
a French one seat glider, built about 60 pieces. First flight of the first version in 1956.
The textures are from the real model F-CCEX, serial number 32, built in October 1960.
This glider has been totally restored and repainted by the Merville s soaring club in France.
The glider was the young pilot s preferred plane thanks to her very low flight cost.
So they decided to paint her as a warbird, trying to reproduce a steel aspect, with
a splendid nose art.
This FS model is provided with many details.
Thanks to Michael Bourgeois for the many pictures, data and informations. Without these
I couldn't have built this model so really.
