Shorty84 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Oh my, just after I bought an Italeri Go 242/244, believing no one would ever release one in 1/48...👍 to ICM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopperhed Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 That's neat! I love the wealth of choices going around. Merely musing, I wonder if we might see other WWII gliders in quarter scale, like the Waco or Horsa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomohawk Kid Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The Horsa would be a large and impressive model in quarter scale. Tommo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Box a long time ago said that they would produce in 1/35 - I pre ordered one, but never seen the lights of day. Not sure where I would put it of course!

Work In Progress Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It would. Given that we have a fair few 1/48 armour and vehicle options now that might be a seller. The Horsa was a lot for a C-47 to tow, preferring a four-engined tug, though I believe it did happen sometimes, so if you pick carefully you could do a full start-of-mission diorama. 23 minutes ago, The Tomohawk Kid said: The Horsa would be a large and impressive model in quarter scale.

Mike Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 That’s cool. Wonder if they’ll do the powered 244 later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Would make sense, it's very little extra tooling, as we saw in the Italeri kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Given similarity Go 244 is in my opinion certain, regarding Horsa, Bronco kit is superlative, but as anyone who has purchased the kit can attest-its enormous, so new 72nd or 48th scale would be more than welcome, as ICM does read forums I would like to see Me 321/323 and DFS 230 in the future, He 111Z already being tooled😄 Edited January 6, 2021 by Thomas V.

Aeronut Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The Bronco Horsa Mk I is far from perfect with inaccurate canopy glazing, landing skid shock absorber, excessive fabric sag on the rudder and absolutely none on the wing, plus lots of other minor niggles. As for their Mk II apart from all the previously mentioned faults carried over from the Mk I the landing skid shock absorber is now completely wrong rather than just inaccurate, but the biggest error is the whole nose shape - you can't just put hinges on a Mk I Horsa nose and call it a Mk II they were totally different shapes. I look forward to ICM's Gotha its a glider I've studied less so I'll be more forgiving of minor errors (if there are any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
