Horten Ho229

This SWS kit builds two 1/72 and 1/144 scale models based on the unfinished "Ho IX V3" prototype, and mimics what a completed Ho 229 would have looked like if it was used in a real battle. Don't miss this brand new type of SWS kit, which offers you the next level of entertainment, from learning to building, the true purpose of scale models. Using our experience and knowledge in developing the 1/32 and 1/48 kits, we have successfully created a 1/72 scale model that is comparable to the larger sizes. The design philosophy of the brilliant Horten brothers has been replicated at a level of detail that defies all expectations of small-scale models. Go ahead and start with the 1/72 scale to experience the fascination of SWS kits. The assembly of the 1/144 scale model is made simple and quick, so that everyone can enjoy building and learning the right form based on thorough investigation of the actual aircraft and in-depth archive research. From 1/32 scale to 1/144 scale, experience the joy of collecting "the mysterious wing of the Luftwaffe" as SWS kits. The Ho 229 was developed in the final stages of the war in the hope that it would be the key to reviving from the brink of defeat. The abundance of prototypes is part of what makes the Ho 229 a fascinating subject. RLM76 Light Blue was chosen to color the 1/72 scale version as a night fighter. For the 1/144 version, the standard camouflage was chosen for a fighter-bomber. With this kit you can enjoy both at the same time.
