One of them was the Go-242 glider designed by Gotha. It could carry 21 paratroopers or 2,400 kg of cargo, and its spacious cargo bay could carry a light SUV or an artillery gun. For their capacity and they were also nicknamed “flying containers” for the characteristic shape of the hull. The gliders’ defensive armament consisted of 3-4 MG 15 machine guns. They were used in various areas of the front to transport personnel and provisions for the surrounded German troops. In 1942, the production of gliders with the index “B” began in several modifications, with non-retractable wheel landing gear. The Go 242B-2 modification was distinguished by a pyramidal chassis with an oil-air shock absorber on the rear wheel pair. Later, some of the gliders were converted into transport planes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCALE : 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIME PERIOD : WW2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMARKINGS : Gotha Go 242B-2, Schleppgruppe 4, 1943.
