                        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.

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

                        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.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

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

                        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...

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

                        http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/SAN4866

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