Gotha Go P 20

[Flitzer]

Hi all,
As part of the next set, I hope to do a 3-view profile of the Go P20 but the refs I have show only two 3/4 view illustrations, one a cut-away.
'Luftwaffe Secret Projects - Ground Attack and Special Purpose Aircraft' by Dieter Herwig and Heinz Rode.

The wing shape and proportion looks very similar to the P14.
Would I be correct in assuming it is?

Any help would be most welcome and appreciated.

Peter

Hi Peter,
It might be helpful, closest, related project Go P.8-01 (8001) zerstorer,
The three major differences: two seat, two fin the tail and the small difference in sizes (sizes are referred to in your source).
Otherwise, the overall geometry and the appointment of the same.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
And it will help me a lot, as I intend doing the P8 too.
Appreciate it.

I found in H.J.Nowarra "Die Deutsche Luftrustung 1933-45" Vol.2 a different name of the project - P.20005!

During the following week, I will look up this book in my local library and at the University, issues ranging from the 60's to the 80's, if there is more or different info about the Go P20.

Go P. 20005 found at page 152.

On page 147 is a list of Gotha project data - there is a different number 20001.

Sorry nothing best :-\

 

[Flitzer]

Many thanks.
I'll try and do the 3-view anyway.
Once I get around to the P20 I'll post progress steps just so you gentlemen can do a bit of ciritique.

I suppose, if the P20 is similar in some ways to the P8, I should get that done first then modify it as necessary.

P ;D

Many thanks fightingirish.

Appreciate your time and effort.

I'll do one anyway and put it up here. I think we'll get something pretty close. ;D
