Parns Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 My build of the 1/72 Huma kit. Largely OOB, apart from the interior framing and outsize swastika from a Microscale sheet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avgas Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Now there's an aircraft I've never heard of. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 How was a build? I've bought this kit two weeks ago in Copenhagen. I was surprised, that there is a shop where you can find still some Huma kits on the shelf! Have you found any data on uses of this glider in war? - the production was very limited and very late...

Parns Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hello, the build was pretty straightforward, even with the extensive interior scratchbuilding. I've got a report over at: http://www.arcair.com/Gal15/14301-14400/gal14389-Ka430-Parnaby/00.shtm The few references that exist describe the aircraft as having been built to an RLM specification for an assault glider larger than the DFS230 and smaller than the Go242. Several were built, but got no further than the service test stage (this is one of the prototypes, without the turret above the flight deck that the eventual production machines were to have).
