Wow, this thing is...GIGANT!!!

I actually never knew this MOFO existed in any scale...I've seen the "joined" He111 tow-plane for sale every once in awhile...seems like a companion "must build" to me...

Just for you, BSY

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

It's a regular thing for italeri i think, they made zwilling 111 and the gigant gider, the waco and other assault glider and the relative hook plane..just recently the good stirling in the pulling glider version (i'm waiting for the bomber version of stirling!)
The Me-323 it's aa spin off of the glidr giant version .. just added some sprue for engines, i think at the early 80 years this kit is out :)

Looks pretty nice....IF you have 120 USD to spend.
