1/72 Italeri Airspeed Horsa glider

Posted by jeaton01 on Friday, January 31, 2020 11:00 PM

THis one was just finished in the British Army GB that Bish is running, there are more pictures of the build there. More photos are of my collection of WW II gliders which I am slowly adding to.

An Airfix C-53, Italeri CG-4A, the Horsa, and an Airlines General Aircraft Hotspur.

CG-4A, Horsa, and Italeri Me-321 Gigant with an Academy Dodge Ambulance for scale.

Beautiful build! I’m really loving all the shots with other gliders and those invasion stripes...

Fabulous work! I've always had a soft spot for gliders. I've done the Horsa, Gigant and a Gotha myself And have the WACO in the stash Would love to find a DFS, the Hotspur and a Hamilcar (I think the Hamilcar is an old vacuform).

John,

Well done old chap! Yes I will forever associate the Horsa with the movie “A Bridge Too Far”.

Well, thanks, all you people!

WillysMB, I think there is a resin Hamilcar but I also think it is pretty expensive. I have an old 1/100 scale DFS 230 but I would like to have one in 1/72. As you know Italeri also did a Gotha Go-242/244. Don't forget the Gribovskii G-11 in 1/72 by Polytechnica, ha ha. In the basement it is. VacWings did the Antonov A-7 in 1/72, it's in the attic.
