Since our primary impression is gliderborne infantry I thought this might be of interest:

Would like to make one for my 1/6 figures, but I can't find the plans anywhere. 
First and Only Airsoft!!

Just a blueprint but if you can find the length or wingspan, you should be able to scale everything else on it..good luck

So
with a wingspan of 4.5m and length of 3.4m you are going to need a big garden or maybe only make part of it for display!
PS I saw the replica they have built at Pegasus Bridge and it is a big aeroplane.

I've a project in hand to make a 1/6th Horsa Mk1 for my 1/6th GPs and airlanding infantry. (It's on the back-burner at the mo as I have a fortified house to finish first)
There are chaps associated with the Assault Glider Project who construct I think 1/12th scale RC Horsa gliders and they'll sell you the plans which can be scaled up - they don't make money from the plans but they're expensive to copy as they're so damn big.
I have a copy of the plans and if I remember right I paid about £25 for them including postage.
Email the contact point at the Trust and he'll put you in touch with the RC wing.
EDIT: It;s not much of a tip but in putting together a 1/6th version of the Horsa it pays to spend less than a tenner getting hold of the old Italeria 1/72 scale model kit (off Ebay, etc). Helps place everything where it should be (and you'll also see some of the less obvious differences between the Mk1 and Mk2). There are various places you can see remnants of or recreations of the real thing - Museum of Army Flying, Mosquito Museum, Assault Glider Trust to name a few - details are on the references page of my website at http://www.totalsoldiers.org.uk .
the mosquito museum is only a few miles down the road from me. ive seen the fuselage of the horsa glider they got down there and it is amazing the amount of men and equipment they could carry.
its definitely worth a trip down there although the museum itself is small they have a lot of examples of old dehavilland aircraft including the prototype mosquito which is finished in a fetching yellow! i believe the horsa glider was designed there as well but i could be wrong. the whole place is steeped in history as is the now old BaE factory in hatfield. the factory closed in the 90s and the whole area is now an industrial estate and housing
one good thing came of it though, saving private ryan and band of brothers was filmed there. really strange to drive past and see an old dakota lined up on the runway!!

The really, really nice thing about the MAM exhibit is that you can actually step inside an original Horsa fuselage. 
Sadly they don't have everything and in consequence have married a Mk2 cockpit to a Mk1 fuselage (of which they only have the front section) but still well worth a visit ........ highly recommended.
Iv seen a chopped up section of a horsa at the museum near the deelen airfield, very nice, and very impressive.
