Surely there's no way this is going to be controversial, is there? So ... with a little trepidation ...

Nice one GHQ! 8)

Looking forward to the catalogue picture for a little more appetite whetting! :D

Thanks for the catalogue picture ... really very nice and so very much better than the awful Scotia example I have (to be expected of course). 8)

Sad to see, that they didn´t make the motorized version 244

Here some pics

really don´t know if the 242 ever has had a " typical " glider combat mission

Hi Bull's eye

Well you never know ... now the basic airframe is done perhaps moulding the 244 is not such a huge task. In a similar vein it would be good to see a Ju87D based on the G model already available ... or a conversion set of spues ...

But for my part I'd rather see a Me 323 8)

Hm, this slow, big Giant ? :D Will be a lot of pewter, won´t it ?

I would like to see the HS 123

Very interesting, and it will not damage any table by weight :wink:

And a russian RATA I 16 would be nice too :)

The Me323 would definitely be a substantial model 8)

I'd take the little Henschel too ... perhaps we should start an aircraft wish-list? :D

Ok ok... ME 323 , BUT with opening front doors, ramps AND hollow, so that i can load the eighteight. Indeed, aircrafts seem to be a GHQ stepchild ?
What about etched brass landing gears like in 1/350 done by Gold Medal Models ? ( by the way, useful for those Focke Wulfs laying on their bellies ??? ).

And what about all the bomb trolleys, fire engines, fuel tankers, perhaps clear canopies and pilot figures and a detailed instrument panel :lol: .

But i would like to see more airplanes and more accessories AND landing gears :D
Perhaps some ammo belts for the 0.5 guns :lol: But that´s not a must

:lol:

You don't ask for much! I'd settle for separate front doors so I can display it how I wish.

And yes, it should have motor gondolas, that can be taken off ( two versions---glider and motorized )
Did i already mention " LANDING GEARS " in etched brass ? :D
