Spence Wilson@brent, I owned a few of them in the past myself. It was a blast to drive even tho it was not huge power.
@Istvan, thanks so much for your comment. It is appreciated.

Eric LamareThe 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 ?

Roland SachsenhoferThank 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".
17 July 2021, 17:09
Robert PodkońskiFantastic start, Roland. Installing the instrument panel on the front window frame must have been nerve shaking...
17 July 2021, 17:25
Roland SachsenhoferThank you Robert! I can report: it was not such a challenge with "Microscale Kristal Klear".
18 July 2021, 09:42
Roland SachsenhoferA few assembly steps further. Did I mention that the fit of the parts is quite good?
18 July 2021, 13:00
Robert PodkońskiThanks, 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.

Roland SachsenhoferDusty, 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.
28 July 2021, 17:15
OlivierOne of my favourite flying machines. Why the lead ? It is a tail sitter (or am I wrong ?)
28 July 2021, 21:33
Roland SachsenhoferOlivier, 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!
29 July 2021, 13:16
Roland SachsenhoferA 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
Roland SachsenhoferThank 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
Roland Sachsenhoferyes, and I smile back:
just removed the stencils- looking forward to showing you pictures of the outcome tomorrow!
3 August 2021, 19:27
Roland SachsenhoferAww!
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.
4 August 2021, 07:42
TorstenThe sharkmouth looks great, 😎 work 👍
Wondering how many kits you make in short time, awesome
4 August 2021, 08:15
Roland SachsenhoferThank you mates for all these encouragement! Tomorrow a black lip liner will be applied...
4 August 2021, 20:00
Roland SachsenhoferLast 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
Roland SachsenhoferThe 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"!
9 August 2021, 06:17
Mark KAbsolutely delightful result! Thanks so much for sharing the build with us.
9 August 2021, 06:21
NeulingI 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
bughunterThe undercarriage is really interesting with skids and wheels! Great project!
9 August 2021, 11:12
Roland SachsenhoferThank 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
OlivierAch Roland, I like all your gliders but the 'shark' going after the tiny DFS is just another level.
9 August 2021, 21:06
CuajeteFantastic result, Roland.
Very nice comparison with all planes.
Congrats!
10 August 2021, 18:31
Roland SachsenhoferAgain, thank you for your comments! I am very happy when the theme and the implementation are so well received.
10 August 2021, 18:42
Cristian Stieringeras 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
14 August 2021, 20:14
Roland SachsenhoferThank you for your words and for the hint; for sure I may say!
15 August 2021, 17:45
Marc VerlotHi Roland, starting the Italeri 1/72 242 A or B. Can I come to you for some advice and tips?
15 August, 14:46
Roland SachsenhoferThank you, I really appreciate your feedback! Marc, always happy to help with whatever I can: just get in touch!

SkyhikerThat's a cool idea using a car sponge to hold the model. I think I will have to get one.

JohnRegarding the Gnat, use white or pink (really!) as a base coat for yellow and it covers in fewer coats. Tamiya's yellow is probably better than most but it's still a difficult color to work with.
7 July, 12:09
Mr DGreat 👍 thanks for letting me know, l been a bit confused when I've seen people spraying pink 🤔?? Then paint over. Now it makes sense will try it next time. Cheers 😀

Mr DThanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍
18 August, 13:25
Mr DThanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍
20 August, 11:14
Mr DGood to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍
