ICM 48225 Gotha Go 242B WWII German Landing Glider 1/48 is a high-quality plastic model kit, faithfully replicating the German World War II transport and landing glider. Built to the 1/48 scale, this model offers an excellent balance of detail and size, allowing both hobbyists and advanced modelers to recreate this unique aviation design from the years 1941-1944.

Gotha Go 242B was designed at the request of the German Aviation Ministry to meet the need for transporting larger infantry units and equipment as part of airborne operations. It was mainly used by the Germans on the Mediterranean and Eastern fronts for the transport of troops and supplies. A powered version (Go 244) was also developed based on this glider, further demonstrating the versatility of this design.
