AZ Model – AZ7895 – Gotha P-60C-1 Luftwaffe 46

Description:

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German Gotha Go P.60 flying wing fighter proposal never built.

The P.60C-1 was an early iteration in Gotha’s series of jet-powered flying wing designs, envisioned as a heavy fighter. This variant featured a tandem cockpit arrangement, accommodating a pilot and a radar operator. The aircraft was designed to be powered by two turbojet engines, either BMW 003 or Heinkel HeS 011, mounted in nacelles above and below the wing. The armament was planned to include four MK 108 cannons mounted in the wings. The P.60C-1’s design emphasized a balance between speed, firepower, and operational ceiling, aiming to counter the increasing threat of Allied bombers.

Not a single Gotha Go P.60 was ever build, so material to build this kit is very limited. Seems AZ Model takes an early Gotha P-60C desing with conventional two seats cockpit in tandem to develop all the series of their Gotha P-60 kits, and updates engines positions and two types of noses as changes between variants without address any other change. AZ Model already had tooled the Gotha P-60 in the past, but here moulds has been updated and changed for this 2025 release.
