This looks to be a stunning kit. I put it on top of my list, But have since removed it. I would very much like to have the glider bomb armed version instead of two glider tug versions. I suspect that version will be released. Especially considering the high number of standard He-111 versions released by ICM.

Thanks for the review!

Great review Darren. As you said, this will be an imposing and impressive beast on display.

Will we see an in-flight diorama from you soon then

Ok, you get working on that, I will try to convince one of the kit manufacturers to release a Gotha Go 242 in 1/48!

I'm fairly certain that your bigger house might arrive first!

Yes, in this case 2 x Gotha Go 242.

I would not be surprised to see ICM announce one.

Thanks for sharing the picture, Damian. I had no idea it could pull two gliders.

If ICM released a Go242 it would be a smash hit. Maybe do one in 1/48 and 1/35
