1/18 Horten Flying Wing Kits available again! Ready to ship.

Post by teebird » Tue Nov 29, 2016 8:38 pm

Hey all thanks to Pickel I was able to do a run of another 10 Horten kits from his molds!! I have sold 3 to some early sleuths that knew these were coming so 7 kits are available and ready to ship! Kits are $400 plus shipping.
Please PM me to order:) This will be the last run of these and are offered on a first come first serve basis. This is not a pre order, kits are ready to ship.

The conclusion of shipping these kits and finishing this project has given me a lot of insight into what producing these kinds of custom 1/18 topics takes. I am compelled to once again thank Pickel for his guidance, patience and help bringing another batch of Hortens to the group:))

I anticipate being able to offer at least ONE 1/18 aircraft kit by about this time next year. Finalizing the topic in the next few weeks after shipping all Horten orders.

Regards to all:)

Tom took over the Horten project . ( Teebird)

I think that his asking price is reasonable because all of the work it takes to make the kit.

He offered to buy the prototype and molds and I was ready willing and able to do so.

The last 2 kits that I sold went for $450 .

Now is time to get this rare bird for those guys who missed out on it.

Very nice Hortens there Normandy.
It would be awesome if you could build a Night Fighter out of the kit for your 3rd plane :D

Love that Desert scheme every time I see it Normandy.

Thanks for the comments guys. Matthew made my all time favorite plane and its fantastic that Teebird
is offering it for those that missed it the first time.
A night fighter would be cool, I could just see it next to 21's ME 262 Nachtjäger.

4 kits sold all. I'm out on a trip for a few days. When I get back I'll try to take some pics of the kits all lined up. Pretty cool to see a near Staffel of Hortens!! Might be a once ever picture before they all go to the four corners of the world! Funny enough all 4 kits sold so far are going to Germany!

Ok six kits sold so far. 4 still available!! Anyone who has a first run kit that needs any replacement parts for their Horten PM me as many of the small parts molds still have life and I overproduced some of the smaller kit parts. I have been traveling and no time to do the mass Horten shot yet. Also no time to put kits on Evilbay where I'll have to add a chunk of $$ to the price. Anyone who wants a fully built and painted Horten let me know as all the orders so far from the forum are for kits only which is limited to 10 kits produced. I have enough slightly imperfect parts that require some modeling know how and effort that will still assemble into 2-3 full builds. I will be keeping those for my own collection if no takers on them:))
