skuki Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Hi, here are pictures of Horten 229 in 1/48 scale. Well, it is not in fact finished, I still need to do some cleaning and add bits and fix some parts. I didn't still add hatches and brakes, since I had an accident with one brake and one hatch leg, so need to fix it. Upper part is glued but only on some points and very lightly, so it can be removed. Inner areas are completely engraved since it came with no details. those wooden planks at the back are scrathcbuilt. Hope you like it, cheers, Marko Edited January 27, 2018 by skuki 72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Centurion Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I first started looking at the photos and was amazed with the detail and the paint work. I didn't pay much attention to who the builder was but went back to the top of the thread and see it is Skuki! I remember your work on ARC over the years and this has to be your best yet! Congrats my friend! One question: Is that decal you are using to replicate the wood? or is it painted? It is stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really glad you remember, I did hang around on ARC a lot, while I was younger and when I was less keeper and more builder Reagrding the wood - it was painted with oil pant. Here are some progress fo wood painting: Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
