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. Thanks for looking in and for comments and suggestions.
