The Italeri 1118 WACO CG-4A model in 1:72 scale is a faithfully reproduced plastic model of the historic transport glider used by the United States Army during World War II. The WACO CG-4A, also known as “Hadrian,” played a key role in Allied airborne operations, including the Normandy invasion (D-Day – Operation Overlord), the Market Garden airdrop, and the landing at Arnhem. This glider was in service from 1942 to 1945, during World War II, used by both the United States and its allies, such as Great Britain.
