building the 1:3 Lawrence Tech IV note 38

Hi friends, here are the last pictures of the building. The wooden Lady is completed. Next step : covering and painting. I send you a hello from France, the last picture is showing the vintage and the modern, only 60 years between these two gliders, the Laister Lawrence tech IV and the Ventus 2CX. ( I like new sailplanes too !!)

The best to all of you:
