Pagey Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) A very complex kit which came with clear parts for the whole fuselage and wings so you can see the complex structure underneath. Also came with 2 detailed engines (they are in there and painted, decided at last minute to cover them up. The brown colour for the top camo was actually the green brown I made up for my Sopwith Camel build and realised that it worked quite well. I sprayed the camo freehand as I thought that at this late stage of the war, they would have just chucked the paint on it quickly! 20200201_142644 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20200201_142656 by Richard Page, on Flickr20200201_142702 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20200201_143141 by Richard Page, on Flickr Yellow/red bands sprayed on rather than decals and I like the exhaust staining! 20200201_142637 by Richard Page, on Flickr Edited February 3, 2020 by Pagey 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Those ZM kits sound like they are a challenge to build, but you have done a great job, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very attractive Ho 229! That dark camouflage and the surface detailng combine to give an almost Pterodactyl-like impression. A note: the plane's name is Horten Ho 229, after the designer brothers Walter and Reimar Horten. Nice work! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagey Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks guys. Definitely a strange looking craft. Apologies for the spelling mistake in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very nice! Ans so futuistic lookint! Hard to believe they were made mostly of wood and 75 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very cool and great work as well! 🍻 I wonder how this kit compares to the old Dragon kits? I have both the single and twin-seat versions of the 1/48 Dragon kits in my stash, but honestly, they've intimidated me a bit. Obviously, no such intimidation hindered you on this fine build. Groovy model man! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagey Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Building to framework underneath wasnt too intimidating. Trying to join the wings internal frames to the fuselage frames did cause a bit of swearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used brass wire to join the wings framework to the fuselage as the plastic pins supplied werent working for me. On 2/2/2020 at 2:12 AM, Spitfire31 said: Very attractive Ho 229!
