One of the more interesting 'crossovers' between Armor and Aviation is undoubtedly the area of Gliders. Now, a new subject in 1/35th scale has been released from a new company - Penguin Models

Penguin Models has just announced it's first model in 1/35th scale - the German Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug - DFS 230 in 1/35th scale...

This new, resin model, covers one of the more used German Gliders in WWII - deployed for the first time at Eben-Emel in 1940 and (I believe) in Skorzeny's rescue of Mussolini at Gran Sasso in 1943. It was also used in the invasion of the Low Countries in 1940 and the Airborne assault on Crete..

The model, which includes full interior detail, is available from a new British company - Penguin Models, at a price of around £60. The DFS230 will be available from 21 October.
