Recreate the 'Mysterious Bird' Horten with dense mechanical detail exceeding expectations of small-scale models! THE 4 MAIN POINTS OF 1/72&1/144 Ho 229. This SWS kit builds two models in 1/72 and 1/144 scales based on the unfinished “Ho IX V3” prototype, recreating what a finished Ho 229 might have been like if used in actual combat. The Horten H.IX, RLM designation Ho 229 (or Gotha Go 229 for extensive re-design work done by Gotha to prepare the aircraft for mass production) was a German prototype fighter/bomber initially designed by Reimar and Walter Horten to be built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik late in World War II.
Hallo, Just to mention that the designer of the flying wing mentioned in your site is Reimar Horten and not Horton. There is a Horton. He designed a low aspect ratio after WW2. It is called 'wingless airplane'.The error you made happens a lot. Another error which happens too is to name the jet flying wing the Horten Ho IX. It should be Horten H IX Hope this will help.

The Horten Ho 229 often erroneously called Gotha Go 229 due to the identity of the chosen manufacturer of the aircraft was a late-World War II flying wing fighter aircraft, designed by the Horten brothers and built by the Gothaer Waggonfabrik. Horten go-229 From the Manufacturer. The Horten Go 229 was a late-World War II prototype flying wing fighter/bomber. It was the first pure flying wing powered by a turbojet and was the first aircraft designed to incorporate what became known as stealth technology. It was a personal favorite of the German Luftwaffe chief.

I just finished the Horten wing. What a great job of making a difficult subject easy to build! I found that stuffing a wad of tissue in the center section made it easier to attach the wings. I have built way too many of these thins already, but don't intend to stop any time soon. Thanks for all the hard work.Ed (April 23, 01)

Horton looks great!!! but I see some people have had trouble getting the wings right , here is my slant on it. build the center section and add all the engine parts but leave off the under carriage doors , cut a access hole as suggested where the big plate will sit at the back leaving a 1/8 inch lip all around opening I prefer mine without U/C. Prepare each wing by lightly score the leading edge and score the big tab on the bottom of the wing then cutoff all the little tabs ! trust me on this ! bend the wing halves and the large tab so they are at 90 degrees but not further. Now glue just the large tab on the lower wing to the upper wing ,at this point ensure the wingtip/trailing edge line up properly and if necessary insert something into the wing to stop the wing skins from becoming glued together.When this has dried gently pop open the wingtip apply glue and glue the tips together.
Take one wing and apply glue to the body along where the top of the wing will go and at the front just around the small tabs but no further , now attach the top of the wing concentrating on getting the front right and the paint scheme lined up and follow it down to the trailing edge. Start at the front underneath and do the same for the lower part of the wing and when this has dried put some glue in the remaining gap ( where the tabs were cut from and seal up the wing. Whew done ! Large model paper 80gm , paper just strong enough ) How can you get so much fun from a single sheet of paper ! Paul Needham
