That's actually made by Zoukei-Mura and distributed by Volks. It'll be a nice, impressive model when it comes out.

There are a couple of builds in progress over at Largescaleplanes.com. The kit is crazy over-engineered and expensive so I'm hoping Revell of Germany craps out their version soon.

AGREED!
The whole unseen interior thing was a complete waste,
all it achieved was making this kit harder to build vastly more expensive.
I'm NOT going to build the hidden interiors, I hope they supply a second instruction manual to bypass these steps?

I love it. I'm going to get it when I have extra fund and will build it up showing the interior on half side. It's going to be the main display piece in my bat cave

The interior is not hidden. The outer body is molded in clear plastic so you can see the internal structures.

I know it's clear, but why in the hell would I want a transparent HORTEN?!
I'm going to paint it of course!
I've always wanted someone to release it in 1:32 and here it finally is,
I'm more than willing to spend the money.

Thats a nice kit and the interior detail is wild. As said by others, it might be a good idea to offer a second
version without the interior detail. I know I'd like more than one, full int. detail and one without but I'm not going to spend the money on something that won't be seen.
CplSlade, does Revell have plans to release a 1:32 Horten?

Have not heard anything, and it is not on the list of 2015 releases although that list onkly covers the first few months at present so who knows what the future holds?
The kit itself is not horribly priced if you compare it to the B-25 or B-17 kits, or the high-end Tamiya Mustang and Spitfire kits. Still, $150+ is a bit much for the casual modeler. I'm still working on saving for the Do335 and the Lancaster.
Definitely would prefer a kit that didn't include the interior parts that aren't visible once you button it up. I'm not really into the see-through or cutaway kits.

After shipping + Taxes? + PILOT figure $20?
I'd say more like $250 (Canadian funds) But its worth it to me!
