New Horton HO229B Night Fighter

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.

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.
