Horten Go229 Flying Wing Aircraft

this is a great, well detailed kit, the only one made too to my knowledge. It was featured in a national geographic documentary recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kowjlqwy5XA

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.

the kit has really good surface detail and even some internal detail, but several parts came chipped/broken. also, be careful reading the instructions.
