                        The only one i could find in either of those scales was a 48th kit, but its vacform.

                        The only injection kit i know of is the Italeri 72nd.

                        Master Box has announced a 1/35 Horsa glider, also used by US Army Airborne forces in Normandy. Its not out yet, and I imagine that it will not be cheap but...

                        I wounder how many Arnhem Dio's we will see with some German armour passing the Horsa. It already has me thinking.

                        Your right there. But i like the Arnhem idea as the Germans won that one and would have over run the landing sites.

                        A Tiger II passing by the glider maybe.

                        Some sort of Flakpanzer or other SP Flak mount would really make that one work...

                        check out these Bundesarchiv photos for that battle

                        Has anyone tried the Dumas balsa kit?  I did a quick conversion of the scale and the wings at 30" scale out to somewhere around 1/33.5 scale.
