The glider series, no engines again on this one I guess. I keep thinking on building mine with engines on. So it's nice to follow your great builds ?

Thank you Mark!
The following pictures give a few impressions of the still very rudimentary G-242 fuselage. The granules in the "coal cellar" in the front of the nose should bring the necessary weight to avoid a "tailsitter". It consists of a kind of ground lead; I tried not to touch it when spooning it in and not to breathe! 🙂
The interior of the fuselage will be further detailed, the three windows in the bow will all be reworked with paint- I decided to build that well-known Go with "shark mouth".

Fantastic start, Roland. Installing the instrument panel on the front window frame must have been nerve shaking...

Thank you Robert! I can report: it was not such a challenge with "Microscale Kristal Klear".

A few assembly steps further. Did I mention that the fit of the parts is quite good?
18 July 2021, 13:00
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks, Roland - I think for me it would be a challenge, I know Kristal Klear and it is setting slowly. BTW, have you ever tried any of these UV setting glues? They work really good, are transparent and are setting in few second under the UV LED light.

Dusty, colourful, freshly filled and sanded: but the surfaces are now ready for a first round of RLM 65! The white tail band is already prepared - unfortunately hardly visible in the pictures - to be masked now.

One of my favourite flying machines. Why the lead ? It is a tail sitter (or am I wrong ?)
28 July 2021, 21:33
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Olivier, I've checked it now, you're absolutely right - and I've now made the thing a "bow-seater"! Well, I'd say that went unusually wrong 🙂) I don't know how yet, but a solution will be found.
I think I was wrongly influenced by the pictures of the wheeled B-version.
In any case, thanks for the clarification!

A few impressions of the more or less finished exterior. Now the question arises, how do I get a correct shark mouth? I think I know one possible answer....
2 August 2021, 15:31
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you Cuajete and Daniel, motivating!
The clever plan for the "shark's teeth" part I and II: the taping was more fun than expected- and the preliminary resulting monster with the red smeared mouth looks somehow more scary than the final result, doesn't it? 🙂
3 August 2021, 07:22
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
yes, and I smile back:
just removed the stencils- looking forward to showing you pictures of the outcome tomorrow!
3 August 2021, 19:27
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Aww!
The covers have come off - and the Go-242 shows the photographer its best smile, or let's say it tries to. Minor imperfections are repaired during the last step, the application of a black decal strip framing the dentures.

The sharkmouth looks great, 😎 work 👍
Wondering how many kits you make in short time, awesome
4 August 2021, 08:15
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you mates for all these encouragement! Tomorrow a black lip liner will be applied...
4 August 2021, 20:00
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Last construction photos: the surfaces are basically finished, the first "false" pair of eyes, which can be seen in the original photos, was painted on with a dry brush - and now the application of the decals and the application of the large eyes on the rearmost, uppermost cockpit windows is still pending.
8 August 2021, 09:53
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
The Gotha Go-242 has indeed been completed! The last steps of construction did not bring any major news, but also no more difficulties. I am happy that the project with the completely masked shark's mouth worked out as I had imagined. Actually even better! The four eyes were finally all painted with a dry brush.
The last photos of the assualt glider assembly are also a kind of conclusion to my personal "theme of the year" - at least in 1:72 scale! It is quite interesting to see such a size and shape comparison 🙂 By the way: all but one of the models were made by Italeri in the 60s and 70s, hats off to the Italians for this beautiful -past- model policy!
Thank you all for your interest, motivating remarks and...."Likes"!

![](/profiles/img/86515-350-s.png)
Absolutely delightful result! Thanks so much for sharing the build with us.
9 August 2021, 06:21
![](/profiles/img/42719-603-s.jpg)
I agree with Mark. - Roland, I really enjoyed your theme of the year. I always had wanted to see these Italeri kits built by an expert.
9 August 2021, 07:09
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
The undercarriage is really interesting with skids and wheels! Great project!

![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you very much for your encouraging and motivating feedback, friends, it means a lot to me! Olivier, I'm glad you like the DFS 230 and Go-242 duet!
9 August 2021, 18:09
![](/profiles/img/34728-244-s.jpg)
Ach Roland, I like all your gliders but the 'shark' going after the tiny DFS is just another level.
9 August 2021, 21:06
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Fantastic result, Roland.
Very nice comparison with all planes.
Congrats!

Again, thank you for your comments! I am very happy when the theme and the implementation are so well received.

as always a great model from you Roland i read the report in the aircraft magazine today about the Go-242 you must also read. the report has captivated me from the beginning see you soon then

Looks Great, the Hasegawa kit is still excellent and your stencil work is top notch.

![](/profiles/img/127168-346-s.jpg)
If a stashed paint is on 0% remaining, maybe it would be useful to have a red border to it or different color text/background on the overview.
Realizováno

![](/profiles/img/10000-754-s.jpg)
Not exactly what you asked for, but this was implemented (+/-)
1) you can now move paint to the "Gone" tab. If it is 0% you can mark it as "trashed"
2) when showing "state info" in the overview you will see the red/orange/green indicators based on the % remaining

Thank you.
Considering it's age, it's not as bad as I was expecting. I didn't come across any major fitting issues, but individual parts need to be cleaned from a lots of excessive plastic. But the manual is just terrible. Sometimes I wasn't sure how the parts were supposed to fit together. Decals are surprisingly good.

Łukasz, don't forget to fix the air inlet to the APU. It is incorrect in the shape of the NG series, but Max has a "door" there. Check the photo: airliners.net/photo/..c6N9hoGLHvP6rGN2s%3D. Fingers crossed.👍

![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Looks super neat! You are getting all better at spraying glossy white! And, well if you look at real airliners, you can indeed see some panel lines, so heresy, no.

![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Thank you mates.
I went on to decalling today and already noticed some GioDecal errors 🙁
- no Buzz logo for inner side of the engines
- no '8200' label in front of the front gear well
26 April 2022, 19:40
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
More findings:
- poor plain grey windows (skipped them, used the Zvezda frames for Max and NG)
- black door hinges, actually barely visible - thrown into the dustbin
- black imitation of the rudder hinge on the bee's face is mirrored (the left side decal has it where the right one should and vice versa)
- poor rudder shape fit
- poor sharklet fit, painted the lower yellow section instead
- too small underside registration
- too tall front door
