1/48 Gotha G.I Scratchbuild
Hello all,
I'm scratchbuilding a 1/48 Gotha G.I. Here are some pictures.......      I wanted to check in on the forum to see if anyone knows of any scale drawings (or better yet factory plans) that show the top of the fuselage. The Datafile plan is different than the photos available and I want to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for any help, Mark |

There are some large, dimensioned drawings in the free reference section at Arizona Models, but they differ in the tail plane, rudders and upper fuselage.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the comments and help. As I've studied the plans and info I've accumulated I've realized that the Datafile plans have the early "B" fuselage (like the Arizona models website plans) and the late "G" tailplane. So I believe what I'll do is build one of both using pictures as references, the early B.1092/14 with two 100hp Mercedes D.I engines and the later G.9/15 with two 150hp Benz.III engines. If memory serves me correctly G.9/15 was rebuilt after a crash and the fuselage was placed on the lower wings which lead to the development of the G.II, G.III, G.IV, etc. Doug, thank you for posting the turtledeck pic. That is one more layout that I hadn't seen. Feel free to post or PM me anything you think might help me. I'll be posting more as I work on it. Everyone, please accept my sincerest thanks and appreciation. This will be fun. Mark Last edited by guitarlute101; 7 September 2008 at 04:16 AM. |
