1:100 Gotha Go 242 Luftwaffe Glider
$2.50
The Go 242 was designed by Albert Kalkert in response to a Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) requirement for a heavy transport glider to replace the DFS 230 then in service. The requirement was for a glider capable of carrying 20 fully laden troops or the equivalent cargo.
The aircraft was a high-wing monoplane with a simple square-section fuselage ending in clamshell doors used to load cargo. The empennage was mounted on twin booms linked by a tailplane. The fuselage was formed of steel tubing covered with doped fabric. The flight characteristics of the design were better than those of the DFS 230.
What we have here is a fair representation of the Gotha Go 242 in two pieces. I will apologize but I could not decide or settle on a means of connecting the rear hatch that would appeal to those who wanted it open or closed. If you want it closed simply add glue and line it up, the seam should be flush all the way around. If you want it open there’s a small lip along the top of the fuselage that you can use to guide where it should go.
The Idle Hands Workshop
I’m a grumpy old man that likes to make things. Army veteran with lots of varied interests as a result of living in numerous countries and exposed to many different cultures.
I presently play Team Yankee, Flames of War ( Middle and Late Americans and Soviets ), Fate of a Nation, and whatever else my friends seem to get me sucked into ( they’re such pushers and I’m a sucker for peer pressure ).
When available and posted I try to take pics of the printed models, for this I generally keep any failed prints for myself so you’re looking at pictures of failed prints that I paint up just for display purposes to give you an idea of what the “can” look like even if the print fails.

I'll avoid shipping if at all possible, it's just too hard for me to try and get stuff completed, then mailed out, and remember it all. Yeah, I'm that bad about it, I know it, so I avoid it like the plague ( too soon ??? )
