Italeri 1356 - 1/72 AS.51 Horsa MK.1/11 - Scale glider kit with British Paratroops  [IT-1356S]

What to expect from the Italeri 1356 - 1/72 AS.51 Horsa MK.1/11

The Italeri 1356 kit models the AS.51 Horsa glider at 1/72 scale, presenting a selection of parts to recreate the airframe and carry figures. Its compact size makes it a good choice for a shelf display or a small diorama featuring British paratroops.

Operational use of the Horsa glider

The Horsa was prized for moving troops and light gear into combat zones where powered aircraft could not safely land. The kit gives modellers the chance to portray these insertion missions with posed figures and a contextual base.

Construction guidance and finishing ideas

Careful trimming and trial assembly will improve fit before gluing. Paints and adhesives are not supplied, so plan your colour scheme in advance and consider light weathering to suggest operational wear for a more authentic finish.
