Very nice, I had been watching this project develop and had forgotten about it, it looks like loads of fun.

If I recall the DiscusX didn't have a paint kit, tho being a composite glider there aren't many rivets or panel lines to paint over so it was fairly easy to paint without a kit. They may yet do a kit for this ASK

Since I'm weak-willed, I broke down and purchased it this morning. I don't see a paint kit among the installed items, nor do I see one on the Aerosoft website. Although as pilottj mentioned, most repaints shouldn't be too difficult since it's essentially just a smooth white unblemished aircraft in its stock form. Haven't had a chance to toy with it yet, but I've never had any regrets about any prior AS purchases. Good luck!

Agreed, it's just they included one with their Liberty XL-2 I purchased to do a repaint of two that Averett University here own for the aviation program. I must have, love soaring.

I tried a few quick flights, and it's great! The motorized variant is particularly fun.

For what it's worth, Aerosoft does include a repaint of a US-registered model - N30BR - which is registered to the Blue Ridge Soaring Society in Virginia. Not sure if that's anywhere near your neck of the woods in VA.

Got my copy. Really nice

Hope they do a high performance competition glider next.

Here are some ASK-M screenshots. The paint scheme is a quick NZ reg I did, I'll upload it soon. Cazzie, there is in fact a paint kit now for the ASK, you can get it from the Aerosoft support forum.

Hey SirBenn,
The departure point is Martins Bay Lodge, part of the Milford Sound scenery package for FTX NZSI, the arrival airstrip is Quintin Lodge.
