ICM 1/48 Gotha Go 242A, WWII German Landing Glider

The Go 242A1 glider was specifically designed for military operations, with the ability to carry a full load of 21 soldiers and various military equipment. Its steel pipe cargo compartment, wooden wings, and water-resistant fabric skin made it durable and reliable. The convenient location of the loading hatch at the tail end of the fuselage allowed for quick unloading in case of any landing mishaps. These gliders were crucial in delivering troops and supplies to both the Eastern Front and North Africa during WWII.
