We present a high-quality plastic model kit Special Hobby 48097 DFS-230C "Rumanian Service" in 1/48 scale. This is a faithful miniature of the German DFS-230C transport glider, used by the Romanian Air Force during World War II. This model will be a special treat for military aviation enthusiasts and collectors of vehicles from the greatest global conflict of the 20th century.

The DFS-230C was a German military assault glider designed by Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug. Its main task was the rapid transport of infantry units, equipment, and supplies to the battlefield. The glider gained fame during operations such as the capture of the Eben-Emael fortress in 1940 and the landings on Crete. During World War II, not only the Luftwaffe, but also other Axis-aligned countries used this type of equipment – which is why this model features unique Romanian markings used on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1944.
