there is double door version
there is double door version to accommodate jeeps. The Horsa has capacity to hold 25 troops. It's not clear from instructions on putting in flooring with benches. The 13 figures require gluing on arms/legs, parachute packs, weapons. There aren't any figures for pilots. Paints specified are Italeri Acrylics so you have find equivalent for brand of paint you use/or want. The pieces are so small you need tweezers and there aren't pegs to guide joining of small parts. Sanding and sharp blade required to trim flashing. You have mask off canopy if you intend to paint. The model is very good otherwise.

Excelente modelo
El planeador cumple con la calidad habitual de Italeri, y las figuras son de un molde Esci de hace cerca de 40 años, extraordinarias entonces y ahora.

sehr empfehlenswert
anläßlich des 70. Jahrestages der Landung in der Normandie, bringt Italeri eine gelungene Kombination von einem britischen AS.51 Horsa Mk.I und britischen Paratroopers heraus. Das Horsa Modell ist solide Italeriqualität und sicherlich 30 Jahre alt-gab es bisher einzeln glaube ich unter der No.116-aber kein Angst der Bausatz ist wirklich gut und stellt den Gleiter sehr detailiert da. Dazu gibt es 13 Figuren, in verschiedenen Posen und Ausrüstungsgegenständen, diese sind ebenfalls schon etwas betagt und stammen aus dem Hause Esci(die älteren Modellbauer unter uns Ü40 kennen die Firma sicherlich noch-grins)Aber auch hier keine Angst die Figuren sind auch Klasse. Mit diesem Kombibausatz kann ein gelungenes Landediorama dargestellt werden-was ja vielen Horsa Besatzungen in Wirklichkeit leider nicht vergönnt war. Die Figuren müßen noch zusammengeklebt werden(Armteile, Beinteile und das Sturmgepäck) Ich finde das Angebot sehr interessant und empfehlenswert-viel Spaß beim Bau-es grüßt Sven Modrzik

Soddisfacente
Davvero bello, ottimo per diorami, Ho impiegato due settimane per finirlo ma il risultato vale assolutamente il tempo perso. Ho trovato difficoltà nell attaccare gli adesivi ma per il resto vera qualità Made in italy.
