Grzimek's Zebra

Jennifer Franklin
This is one of the most unique models I have seen. (not that I have seen that many but still 😉 )

Robert Podkoński Yazar
Thank you, Jennifer - there are many more unique models presented on this forum, enjoy! 🙂

...especially now with the Special Hobby kit. One in my stash waits as well.

Ekki
Very well done!
Excellent work!

Robert Podkoński Yazar
Thank you, Ekki - it is a well engineered kit.

Ekki
It's on my shopping list (well, not this version). Four times. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
It's a nice kit, you're gonna like it, perhaps even 4x 😄

You can take pride in this one, Robert. Just make sure it's not a pride of lions!

Michael Kohl
Unfortunately it was a pride of a bearded vulture. Prof. Grzimeks son Michael flew it, when he collided with said vulture. The impact bend the control surfaces making the plane uncontrollable. Michael Grzimeks died in the crash.
A copy of the plane is on display at the zoo of Frankfurt/Main, Germany, where Prof. Grzimek was director for quite a long time. He shot the film "The Serengeti must not die" in the late fifties. If I am not mistaken, the first non-american movie to win an Oscar.

Stunning!

Robert Podkoński Yazar
That's a sad story indeed. Thanks for your comments, Mates!

Nick Lindley

Thanks, Nick 😉

Remains of that plane are displayed in the Technik Museum Berlin with the story behind it. Nice build 👍

Thanks! Thanks also for the info - I would love to visit this museum one day...
