This is a very nice and detailed kit.
The excellent book Sailplanes 1945 - 1965 by Martin Simons includes an excellent write-up, photos and scale drawings of this glider. A quote from the book, "The final model, which entered production and became widely know and outstandingly successful, was the SZD-24-4 or Foka - 4. The sandwich wing skins were changed to thick plywood, with important savings of weight and simplifying production."
