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

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:))
