There is one in an Italeri set, but it's too expensive... (because it comes with vehicles, guns and British and German troops aswell). Would love to get it otherwise and make a diorama. I have another idea though

If I get caught, it wasn't my idea, right?

Good stuff Evan.
There is Pegasus bridge kit, and the Cafe Gondree and other buildings available as 3D printed kits, at relatively reasonable prices. I can find the details if interested. (they also do the Hartenstein Hotel and other Arnhem stuff).

In 1:72 Terry? I would definitely be interested.
The Italeri set goes for between 60 - 100 Euro, excl. postage. It would be alot cheaper without all the vehicles etc.

Here it is Evan, at £34.95 plus shipping (around £4 in mainland UK). It's 570mm in length, and from WarFayre on E bay UK.
They also do the individual buildings in the area, including Cafe Gondree, as separate kits (varying prices), as well as known Normandy and Arnhem locations. (I believe other scales also available).
If you go for it, let me know, as I have a two-page spread artists (accurate) rendering of the scene showing locations of all three Horsas in relation to the bridge etc.

Nicely done so far!

Cheers Hugh and Terry!
Just checked out their prices Terry. Their Pegasus Bridge is 41 Euro, plus 15.67 postage to Ireland (plus atleast 10 Euro import duties), so the Italeri set is still the better option then (64 Euro on Amazon, free Prime delivery) as it also comes with this lot:

Got this by the way.

Buy me a pint and I'll keep quiet !
If you want the Cafe Gondree etc, let me know and I'll get them for you and send them over - cheaper postage and no import duty, and, given not too expensive, free of charge too !
Here's a (very poor) copy of part of the actual scene.

Cheers Terry!
I don't know where I'll put them (...), but I plan to make gliders 1 and 2., plus the bridge and the café. Will have to be in sections that can be joined up when space allows, seperated in between.
My son wants me to make the river bridge for him, as he is making Horsa 5 (Fox's )
Big project, but will be fun!
(Ivett would kill me at the moment Terry, but I'll talk to you later about the Café Gondree! Cheers mate.)

Outside of building the gliders, this is looking like a big long term project that will be great to watch come together.
