1:72 Gotha Go-242A1 German Cargo Glider

Plastic assembly kit produced by IBG models.

Information about the template

The Gotha Go 242 was a transport glider that was the answer to the request of the Reich Air Ministry, which asked for a replacement for the then-used DFS 230 type. The result was a high-wing aircraft with a central cargo fuselage gondola and two tailplane spars. The fuselage had a steel skeleton covered with canvas. The rear part of the fuselage in the cargo version could be folded up, allowing the glider to accommodate an all-terrain vehicle or a light cannon. Two prototypes flew in 1941, and serial production subsequently began. A total of 1,528 aircraft were built.
