New Horton HO229B Night Fighter

[cnq]

Just finished this Night Fighter HO229B from Dragon 1:48 Kit.
This kit is not very good as the nose, fuselarge, and wings don't fit very well
and require lot of putty and sanding
I managed to get it done to a reasonable result but not quite happy with it.
Any way at least I've added another rare plane in the collection
Hope you like the pictures.

Very well done. I too like the 'obscure' aircraft.

I agree, really good job. I also like it.

Thank you guys. Here are couple more pics

Nice work.

Wish someone would offer the HO-229 pre-made pre-painted die cast 1:144 or 1:72.

Thanks.
There is a pre-made one (desk top display with stand) made from mahogany wood from this site. They don't say what scale it is though.

Thank you guys. Now I want to build the 1st proto type HO229 V1 Day fighter with the exposed engines to add to my collection if I could get my hand on one

Another shot with the pilot included to show how big it is for this jet fighter

1/32 needs one of these.

Just got the day version Ho 229A from evil bay for reasonable price. I can't wait to work on it
