Detailed textures are provided including diffuse, bump, specular maps with maximum dimensions of 4096 pixels to ensure stunning visual fidelity. Photoshop template files are downloadable with the product allowing users to modify layered textures at will. The Horsa glider was manufactured by Airspeed Limited and various subcontractors before its maiden flight in September 1941. With a capacity for 30 troops and equipment, it surpassed the size of the American-built Waco glider. Various aircraft types were responsible for towing the glider into battle. The Horsa played key roles in several famous operations including the invasion of Sicily, the Battle of Normandy, Operations Tonga, Dragoon, Market-Garden, and Varsity, with over 3600 units built. The model provided with this purchase is a Mark I version featuring authentic D-Day stripes. The detachable tail section and intricately detailed interior are notable features of the model. Although the Horsa model depicted is technically a Mark I, it has been enhanced with a hinged nose section reminiscent of the Mark II variant seen in one of the screenshots. To convert this to a true Mark II, a second nose wheel would need to be added. Price: $89.00 Date added: Jan 20, 2016 Last update: Jan 22, 2016 Product id: 56a0530e61946ea4658b4567
