About product

Eduard Full Photo-Etched Set 1:48 Go 242B

A detail set of photo-etched parts from the manufacturer Eduard for a plastic model of the Go 242B transport glider in 1:48 scale. It belongs to the full color series with pre-painted parts. The set is an accessory to a kit, not a model of the glider, and the model itself is not included in the package. The exact make-up of the sheets is not stated here.

The real subject

The Go 242B is a twin-boom transport glider of the period of the Second World War, a structurally simple machine with a large cargo compartment in the fuselage and a hinged rear for loading. It had no power of its own; a tug aircraft carried it to its destination. For a modeler it is interesting precisely because of that space inside, which an ordinary fighter does not have.

What the set changes on a model

The ratio of work to result is different on a type like this than on a fighter. The inside of the fuselage is large and open, so every part added is in view and contributes to the impression of depth. The pre-painted parts are glued on in their colors as they are and are not painted over; the metal parts in bare sheet are painted together with the model.

Building tips

Finish and paint the interior before you close the fuselage, or you will make the work needlessly complicated. Glue with cyanoacrylate in minute drops applied with a pin. On the large inner surfaces it pays to try dry first whether the fuselage halves will still come together once the photo-etch is glued in.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who build less usual types in 1:48 scale.
  • Builders who want to show the inside of the cargo compartment.
  • Those who do not want to paint small details by hand.
  • The more experienced, used to working with photo-etch.

The set is an accessory for building a plastic model, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

The Go 242B has a large cargo compartment that stays in view on the model. Parts added there count for more than they do on a fighter with a tight cockpit.

It is not. This is an accessory, and the base plastic kit has to be bought separately.

The inner parts belong on the model before the fuselage is closed. Confirm dry in advance that the halves will still come together once the photo-etch is glued in.

Several accessories of different kinds are issued for a single type, masks among them. They are told apart by the manufacturer's exact designation.
