I have been thinking of picking up a 1/72 Gotha 242 for the Grp Build. The only unit info I have been able to find is from the Russian front, 3. go -Staffel der Luftwaffe, reorgainized to 1. (Go)/VK (S) 1. Can anyone direct me to a site for research material or maybe a decent photo showing camo pattern used in the MTO?

I'm not sure if Gotha Go 242s were used in MTO at all... Need to check in some books if I can find something on this.
I was just going to post this very same link. Found this site few moments ago while searching the net for Go 242 info and pictures. Great find Paul. You were faster then me for a few minutes.
I stand corrected - Gotha 242 gliders were indeed used in MTO.
I also found they were used in the Balkins, Sicily and North Africa. KGrzbv was stationed in Greece and KGrzbv was in Crete but upgraded to Go 244.
