Horten Go229 Flying Wing Aircraft

had this kit easy build nice details great for beginners just a generally fun kit

The Luftwaffe create at the end of WWII, some planes that were well ahead of its time. The Go-229 is one of the more beautiful examples of that. The kit is old, but very well molded. Nice details, especially the landing gears Very simple cockpit. The assemble is quite simple, as the silhouette of this jet is. The decals of this kit are OK, they are obviously speculative, as no operational Horten ever reach combat units. It's a nice addition to the Luftwaffe WWII futuristic projects.

Revelle Germany did a fantastic job on this kit. from my own research, I found it to be extremely accurate. don't know where the rote and blaue references came from as I could find nothing to support these designations. only two prototypes ever flew and one of these was a glider. the second crashed after, reportedly 2 or 3 test flights. a third was captured by the allies and is at the Smithsonian for restoration, it never flew. look at a picture of the B-1B to see how the GO229 influenced future thinking. the fits were spot on except for some minor issues on the underside. I built the blaue version with the canopy open. the linkage, for lack of a better term, on the main nose wheel under carriage was a little tricky. I highly recommend this kit.
