IBG Models Gotha Go 242 A - German cargo glider new-tool 72nd scale. Build review Day 9

 

Day 9 of the IBG Models Gotha Go 242 A kit build.

 
Loading a VW-Kübelwagen onto a Go 242 in North Africa ..


Adding some of the larger pieces of PE - the Gotha's control surfaces are festooned with mass balances - even the trim tabs. The Gotha must have been a very heavy aircraft to fly. 




Step 32. Building the  undercarriage/ wheeled dolly/skids. Skid parts are numbered incorrectly but they only fit one way. Two small pieces of etch to fold. 




This effectively concludes the build. Painting/finishing/decaling this weekend all being well. Thanks for looking in, comments and suggestions.
