Tokyo Raider Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Lets see it in 1/48! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mu17 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The illustration is of the first H.XVIII proposal, which was very much a concept drawing. This was abandoned in favour of the smaller and ugly version with enormous fixed spats and external engines, which was submitted in competition with the Ju.287 and Me.P.1107/II (amazingly just issued by RS Models). Contrary to most publications, I haven't seen and documents referring to them as H.XVIIIa and b. I believe Sharkits1/72 kit of the first version had major fit issues and I wait for decent replacement. Their kit of the second version has the wrong wing sweep, so again better is needed. The offerings in 1/144 by Anigrand and Unicraft are much better. 1/48 ???? Bob you must have a much bigger house than me - but then I am going to build a model of every individual Horten !

Tokyo Raider Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I have the sharkit in 1/72 of this. I recently converted to 1/48 because I frankly am too old for 1/72. Eyes, fingers, dexterity with tiny parts had forced me back to 1/48. Where in 1/72 I would build 3 to 5 models a year and have frustration, i now in 1/48 build about 20 models a year and have alot of fun. I wont do every horton, just major versions. Likely this wont be done in 1/48... but I would invest alot in a 1/48 kit of this... i also prefer the original Horten design to the later Junkers design, but would still want it. If it doesnt fit in a case, you can hang it from ceiling! Edited February 28, 2021 by Tokyo Raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
