Introduction to the Italeri 1356 - 1/72 AS.51 Horsa MK.1/11 kit

The Italeri 1356 kit renders the AS.51 Horsa glider at 1/72 scale, supplying parts to recreate the airframe plus a set of British paratroops for narrative display. It suits enthusiasts who want to reflect airborne operations in miniature.

The Horsa's contribution to airborne campaigns

The Horsa was a key transport for troops and light equipment during pivotal airborne missions. Modellers can use the kit and figures to depict a landing scenario or a static tribute to glider-borne soldiers.

Practical advice for assembly and presentation

Plan your build with careful dry fits and neat joins to preserve detail. Since paints are not included, select paints and brushes that match your chosen scheme, and consider a simple base to showcase the Horsa and its paratroops.
