Manufacturer: Italeri

Scale: 1/72

Additional parts: none

Model build: Jan - Feb 2015

A Gotha Go 244. The Go 244 was a powered version of the Gotha Go 242 glider designed for military transport. It was developed by modifying the Go 242 glider with engines. Three prototypes were built using different engines and eventually the Gnome-Rhône 14Ms engines were chosen for production due to availability. The B series was the main production model with 174 aircraft built, some converted from gliders and some newly built. The Go 244 saw limited service in North Africa and Eastern Front due to vulnerability and was replaced by other transport aircraft.

I always wanted to build a twin-boom plane, and as the Gotha is quite small compared to other aircraft with this layout, I choose this one.
