It currently looks like this: Closer to what it actually would have been if they put it into war, but a lot less interesting compared to what it was before restoration. Isn’t that the wooden replica built by Northrop? They made a TV show about it. I believe its free to view on Prime Rgds Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they bought the narrative that the fly wing design plus the plywood coal dust coating was for stealth, and did some RCS testing with this replica.

kapam Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 You have replicated the Smithsonian look perfectly! It sure is a curiosity of an aircraft. Would have needed a very brave pilot to fly one, in my opinion. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Wolfenstein franchise took any inspirations from this Ho-229 test pilot when creating the Ubersoldaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
