About product

Grob Astir CS Jeans 1:72 (Kovozavody Prostejov)

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Kovozavody Prostejov. The set captures the single-seat club glider in the simplified Jeans version. The model is meant to be assembled and painted and includes clear canopy parts and a decal sheet.

The real subject

The Astir CS is one of the best-known fiberglass gliders of the 1970s. The Jeans version was offered as a more economical club machine for training and recreational gliding. Its elegant long wings and smooth surface make the Astir a rewarding subject, one that can still be met at club airfields all over Europe.

Building and painting tips

The long slender wings of a glider need careful alignment and a firm bond to the fuselage, ideally with the dihedral checked. Use a thin cement for plastic and fill and sand the joints carefully, because the smooth surface of a glider hides nothing. The typical finish is glossy white gelcoat with colored registration markings; under a gloss coat a good primer and fine polishing pay off. Mask the clear canopy and glue it on last.

Who the model is for

  • Enthusiasts of gliding and soaring
  • Collectors of club and sport gliders
  • Modelers who will appreciate the clean shapes of fiberglass sailplanes

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
