Horton 1/32 scale Ho229.

[Vic Balshaw]

With these larger scale kits, I'm always tempted to show as much internal detail as I can and with this kit there was no exception. A lot of the detail is with the engines and I have tries to show this without removing too much of the external covering.

I started this kit last May and only finished it mid last month. It was quite an intense build with a lot of drilling and cutting to expose the engine and wing detail. Construction was quite easy though at times fiddly with a lot of delicate handling.

Extras were the Quinta Studio Interior 3D decal set and for the wood grain Super Wing Options decals. Paints were from SMS.

Beautiful Vic! One of my all-time favourite aircraft.

I love the IP and cockpit controls - they look real! Also that they explain the wiring (I will copy that for my 1:72 build) and give the nose ballast, which I will have to scratchbuild.
You did a lovely job with this, thanks for posting!
