About product

Propellers for the Gotha Go 244B in 1:48 scale

A set of bladed propellers for a model of the unusual German transport machine with twin tail booms. It is exactly the engine nacelles with their propellers that set this type apart from its unpowered predecessor, so it is a section worth bringing out carefully. A model of the aircraft is not in the package.

The story of the real subject

The Go 244 arose from the conversion of a large cargo glider, to which the designers added a pair of engines so that it would no longer depend on a tug. The powerplants used came from captured French units and their power was only just sufficient for the weight of the aircraft, so the machine stayed slow and, on the loss of one engine, practically impossible to keep in the air. Its commitment over the Mediterranean and over the Eastern Front therefore ended early and the surviving examples returned to being towed. Even so it is a type that catches the eye in any display case with its shape with two booms and its roomy cargo fuselage.

Practical advice

Fit the propellers only after the nacelles are painted, otherwise you will damage the blades during masking. Check that both hubs have the same blade pitch, because asymmetry is conspicuous on a twin-engine machine. On German machines of this era the blades were usually dark and matte, so let that contrast with the metal hub.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German transport machines in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in the less usual types of the Second World War
  • Modelers who tune the engine nacelles in detail
  • Collectors of twin-boom hardware

FAQ

The Go 242 was an unpowered cargo glider, whereas the Go 244 received a pair of engines and became a transport machine that flew on its own.

The name speaks of propellers. Anything beyond that figure is not stated here, and the nacelles stay on your kit.

Best at the end of the build, after painting and after the decals have been applied, so that they do not get in the way during the work.
