Looking at the scheme drawings there, and assuming they are sharing common sprues, by mixing kits you can also easily build a single engined version and a three engined version without needing any major PSR.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

AZ/KP kits usualy share common sprues and you get a fair number of unused parts. So if they do with this one you've got me thinking about a 3 engined version and where the engines would be ? 3 on top ? 2 on top, one underneath ? 1 on top, 2 underneath ? And that's before we start working from underneath upwards. An idea for a GB has just entered my head  ;)

Quote from: Nick on March 31, 2025, 09:49:56 AMI have one of the original releases which had Japanese and NASA and Soviet decals. Gotha P.60 C-1.

Think I paid £11 for it in the MPM shop in Prague in 2013. These new ones are £28  :o

I wonder if the original moulds were worn out totally or if they were damaged in some way. Wasn't there a warehouse fire about 5 years ago?
This type of subject is right up my street but, not at £28 a pop. :-\ Moving swiftly on...........!

Don't know when they came in, but the Gotha P60s are all in stock at Hannants now.

Most kits look nice in the box, even Unicraft ones. Oh, maybe NOT Unicraft, but you know what I mean. :(

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

You are not wrong there Chris, I have been drawn in by their box carton many occasion, but thought better about parting with cash at the last moment.

Anyone who has or is thinking of getting the Gotha P. 60 C6 kit beware. The blended wing fuselage halves Don go together very well, and where the nose attaches, is absolutely terrible. The ends are all over the place, and the nose is too narrow to fit, so some artistic redesign is needed.

Absolutely Kit  :wacko: I need to double check the instructions,  but I am sure it says put 20 grams of ballast in the nose too. That is a lot of lead to put in there.
