GWH 1/144 Messerschmitt Me-323 E-2 Gigant + Sd.Kfz.250 + Panzer II Ausf.F - GERMAN TRANSPORTER
The GWH 1/144 scale model kit set includes plastic models of the German transport aircraft Messerschmitt Me-323 E-2 Gigant and two armored vehicles: Sd.Kfz.250 and Panzer II Ausf.F. These models are designed for self-assembly and painting, allowing for precise reproduction of historical vehicle details from World War II.
Model Description: Messerschmitt Me-323 E-2 Gigant
The Messerschmitt Me-323 E-2 was an evolution of the Me-321 and served as a heavy transport aircraft. Powered by six Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines, it reached a maximum speed of around 200 km/h with a range of about 1,000 km. The aircraft could carry loads weighing up to 20 tons, primarily in North Africa. It was equipped with defensive armament to protect against fighters, though its low speed made it vulnerable to enemy attacks.
