How can I go about making a 1/48 scale Waco Glider? Or is there anyone out there that makes one in 48 scale?

Thanks!

Italleri has one. Many say that it has inaccurate markings though

I think that Italeri kit may be in 1/72 scale. I haven’t seen any injection molded 1/48 Waco’s.

you can scratch one, i did want that to but its not easy
different materials u can use such as balsa and plasic card( how ever u name that )
this a 1/72 glider, u print it out and u have it

I saw your post but couldn't find it yesterday, I usually lurk in the Armor section, so posted a new thread there.

1/48th Horsa Glider info

Buut.... to answer your 'actual' question

There is a 1/35th RESIN model, not 1/48th as I first thought, 1/35th Masterpiece models Waco Glider USD$200, but it is worthwhile downloading the instruction sheet,a 'Masterpiece' of information on it's own.

For masochists: a Vacform is available from Sanger Engineering 1/48th Waco Glider Link

This is very basic shapes, no interior to speak of & minimal cockpit, but it's a start.

In 1/33 GPM do the Waco Glider in card, popular in Europe.1/33 Waco Glider Link This is useful to fill in missing details.

A collection of YouTube build videos GPM 1/33 Waco Glider Link If you get hold of this, reduce by 68.75% to give 1/48th.
useful to fill in missing details.


Also available from Italeri in 1/72. and at least one resin model in 1/144th

Good luck

This is a bit off the topic of 48th scale, but I just watched this interesting video of how they towed a Waco/Hadrian across the Atlantic in World War Two to see if it was viable to do this on a grand scale for the transport of goods. The glider even had a name Voo Doo. https://youtu.be/ud4cqSGsQTc
