Luft-X LUFT001
Gotha Go P.60A Display Model
Luftwaffe, Germany, 1945

Limited Edition

1:72 Scale   Length   Width
Gotha Go P.60A   6"   6.75"

In a last ditch effort to retake control of the skies during Late WWII, Hitler commissioned the research of advanced aircraft. One design, the Gotha Go P.60A was intended to replace the Horten Ho 229 "Flying Wing" and become the Luftwaffe's reliable, maintenance-friendly, modular fighter and interceptor. Part of the new Luft-X line of experimental German aircraft, this 1:72 scale, resin display model of a Gotha Go P.60A all-wing fighter is unlike anything else on the market today! It features finely textured surfaces, a glazed canopy, two realistic turbojet engines, authentic markings, a collectible card, and a display stand.

Gotha Go P.60A

Designed as a twin-engined flying-wing fighter/interceptor by improving on the Horten Ho 229 design, the Go P.60 never actually made it off the drawing board.

Luft-X

The Luft-X range presents affordable, ready-made resin models of proposed experimental military aircraft of the Luftwaffe in WWII in 1:72 scale.

Prior to and during the Second World War, German aeronautical engineers working for the Luftwaffe in corporate and university laboratories conceived of, designed and built aircraft that were years ahead of their time.

These secret designs included dramatic improvements in aerodynamics, propulsion and materials. Had there been more time, they may well have changed the outcome of the war. Fortunately for the Allies, the Nazi high command failed to grasp the importance of these advancements until it was too late to make a difference. After the war, captured Luftwaffe designs were studied and integrated into all facets of Allied aircraft development.

The Luft-X collection captures these remarkable aircraft, showcasing the secret developments of WWII German aircraft and posing the haunting question - What if?

Luft-X display airplanes feature:

  • Molded resin construction with no assembly required.
  • Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
  • Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
  • Transparent canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors.
  • Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".

Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce die-casting molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in diecast metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.
