A selection of photographs showing details of one of the two Gotha engines displayed in the Brussels Air Museum.
Noteworthy is the colour of the original blue paint surviving on parts of the struts and lower wing structure in the first picture.

Hope this is of some interest to Gotha modellers?

Best wishes from Brussel sprouts! :D

Thanks Dave for the interesting Gotha engine photos, these will come in very handy when I one day get around to building my Gotha.

Yes, very useful. Thanks Dave. The question is, when will I pluck up the nerve to start that WNW Gotha so lovingly stashed away?

Best wishes

Thanks Dave for the very helpful pictures. If I can summon the courage
to try a Gotha, these will certainly be an asset. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)
