Gonna get the Brandenburg seaplane and the Gotha. Too bad the campaign maps are not on sale.
Yeah, the Gotha looks awesome.
I have been fascinated by the Gotha since I was a wee lad. I'm going to build a model of one with my daughters soon.
Ooo - what scale Gus? (the Gotha that is, not your daughter) and what materials?
1/48? Something like this:

I suggest doing a balsa or paper one and getting lozenge pattern paper for the wings if you want the camo look. Painting all those little buggers by hand is an exercise in frustration... :o Trust me, I built a plastic Gotha many many moons ago and tried doing the camo. It started turning out so bad that I finally gave up and painted it green. :-[

BTW, Fiddlers Green, where that model came from, is an awesome site to get terrific cheap paper model plans you can print onto cardstock. Houses, trains, tons of different A/Cs! Perfect for minis games or building with kids. Check it out: http://www.fiddlersgreen.net
That looks really cool. There was also a 4 engine bomber made by Zeppelin, and that's an even bigger bird.

Thanks 'Wing, checking out Fiddlers Green now.
And holy crap Bawb! The Staaken is a teutonic delight!

He's going 1-to-1, surely. He has the extra crew!
^HA I was going to type that originally. A full scale Gotha replica would be awesome.
Gotha is an awesome plane in ROF, but it is a tough bird to handle!
Check out this model! Large scale 1/32. hefty price tag.. but wow..
Wingnuts Gotha (http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/product?productid=3006)
Cool sight...another one with the potential to empty my wallet. The only experience I have with the Gotha so far in RoF are the couple of times you took me up in one as a gunner IIRC!
