No way!! Really!!!? 1/32 Horten Ho 229 B (Two-Seater)
This new release was developed from the 1/32 Ho 229 single-seater through extensive studies and redesigns. Add this truly unique piece to your aircraft collection.
This kit offers build options for either the single-seat or two-seat model and the clear exterior parts showcase the detailed internal structure.The Spirit of the Horten Brothers Revived Through SWS!
From a young age, the Horten brothers were fascinated by gliders and flying wing aircraft. Under the guidance of Dr. Lippisch, designer of the Me 163, they pursued flying wing prototypes, culminating in the formal adoption of the Ho 229. Although several high-performance variants were planned, none saw combat before the war ended. Among these, the two-seat night fighter was considered the most practical. It featured a narrow tandem cockpit, with a radar operator seated in the rear, and a FuG 220 Lichtenstein radar antenna mounted on the nose, same as the He 219, for night interception.
The SWS kit faithfully recreates this advanced concept as the Ho 229 B Nachtjäger, based on detailed research from actual He 219 and Luftwaffe night fighter documentation. Even under the pressures of late-war Germany, the Ho 229 B exemplified bold and forward-thinking design. Now, through SWS, this "Bird of prey of the Luftwaffe" can take flight once more in your aircraft collection. -
