Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant heavy transport
The Messerschmitt M3 323 was a cargo transport aircraft introduced in 1943 that did not survive past 1944. eastpole77 has built a rather substantial LEGO version of this ill-fated plane, complete with opening front doors.
I’m not sure the green felt flower quite works as the Tunisian sun, but the scene is complete with palm trees and troops debarking to join up with the Afrika Korps.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ruben!

Not that I’m against seeing this blogged but it’s a really old MOC by Klaus Dobisch. He’s been slowly tidying his Brickshelf account which could explain its reappearence.

^ Ah, true enough. The perils of someone migrating to Flickr, I guess…

Ah Awesome. even if it is an old design by someone, it’s the first time i’ve seen it. Just got into Lego aircraft and this is really awesome.

This is the best Lego ww2 aircraft I have ever seen! There is even a storch in the background.
