I don't know of any model of the Horsa. You might want to check out RZM for books on the glider and then try your hand at scratch building. I sure they have a book or two with layout drawings.

If I had a hankering for a Horsa for a diorama, I would use either balsa or plastic for the internal ribs, stringers and bulkheads and then cover it in model aircraft tissue and dope. You could have a field day with damage since you would build it like the orginal it would damage like the original.

Best of luck

You might find something in 72nd, bt for 35th...scratch build only, same thing with a C-47 (they did make a 48th scale of that a while back)
