I have built this ages ago. Looking forward to watching your build. Prepare to put in a ton of weight. If you plan to build it with the doors closed...

Actually I have a bit spray booth, created specifically with this kit in mind. After completing the Me-321. Purchased booths didn't cut it due to size, cost, and noise. So I built my own: 35" wide x 18" deep. Included 4 muffin fans and they are have a lower db rate test result than a purchased 2 fan system. I used scrape wood to keep the cost down. The cost was in the LED lights, fans, and exhaust parts. Works great. I will have to make space for the finished model next to the Me-321, so that's where the challenge will be. Pictures to come.

Album info

The Me-321 D-1 Gigant is the powered version of the Me-321 B-1 Gigant glider. Three engines were added to each wing of the and this became the Me-323.

Similar to the glider, with clam shaped nose/loading doors, but with interior structural improvements and ten-wheeled bogie-type undercarriage. The glider version had two large wheels for the undercarriage which were jettisoned upon takeoff. In addition, there were two smaller wheels attached to the front of the undercarriage under the nose doors. In addition, the glider version had up to six launch rockets under the wings to assist the glider tug(s) to get the giant off the ground.

Specifications: wing span: 180' 5 3/8"; length 92' 4 1/4", with a wing area of 3,228 sq ft. In addition, the pilots sat at ~30' above the ground, similar to a modern day 747.

The Me-323 and Me 321 were considered the largest aircraft produced between 1940 and 1944.
