Coming to a LZ near to you?? 20mm gliders
« on: 01 April 2023, 08:35:01 PM »
Well with a change to my plans and restarting my 3D printer I have four US Waco gliders ready to fly into action. They have been bathtubbed so the wing span is undersized, the fuselage length less so and the body scaled to 1/80 (almost 20mm)


Luckily I had enough paint as Amazon failed to deliver it (well the one it had at a sensible price rather than double RRP)


The decals were by Xtradecal and I now have a lot of large US decals left from the set.

Cool stuff. It seems much less common to see Waco gliders in games than Horsa ones, so good to see something a bit different.

Brilliant stuff, Waco’s definitely on my to-do list for my Americans in Normandy; I don’t know why I like them so much - maybe just out of respect to the incredible chaps that rode those steeds to battle.
