Farmer matt Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hello to you all, The ASK 13 two-seat glider was first flown in 1966, and around 700 were built, many of which are still flying today. This kit was one of the final releases in a small range of white metal aircraft produced by Lawrence Designs and Models (LDM) in the 1970s/80s. askbox by Matt Farmer, on Flickr OOB except for some 0.5mm plastic rod in the cockpit and masking tape canopy frame. Decals from spare. Paint is Halfords Ford Sunburst Red over yellow primer, from a rattle can. askrfi1 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr askrfi2 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr askrfi3 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr askrfi4 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr askrfi5 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr Some build notes and further information about LDM can be found in my WIP thread, which also embraces a Christen Eagle and Mew Gull from the same company. Thankyou for looking, and a huge thanks to all those who have encouraged, supported and contributed to the WIP so far. One down, two to go. Matt. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Good to see a glider model on here, I'm currently sitting on the ground at Cranwell gliding club. Been soaring in a Grob Acro (which I have so far failed to source a kit of), we have the full serviceable club fleet and a couple of private gliders out at the moment. Might even see the private K6 flying for the first time since I've been here if that's serviceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hi, lovely build. It really looks the part. Never seen a red one, but it sure attracts the eye. I have many flying hours in K13, and great memories of scratching the alpine cliffs with the wingtip. Congrats! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troschi Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Lovely, did my first steps in the air on a 13 some 20+ years ago! Liked that plane actually a lot more than the ASK 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-21 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Superb build. I have many hours instructing in these, excellent stall spin trainer ,(spins now banned due to age of wooden structure and fin loads) easy to ground manoeuvre, good all round visibility and nice handling to instruct in. Also many hours in its forerunner the KA-7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer matt Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Thanks Malc, I might have to try and get a Pawnee or something to go with her now. Matt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
