Splash`s Horten Ho-229 ***Finished***

[JamesPerrin]

I think it's going to look spectacular in those markings. Never as a PM Horten look so cool

[Dirkpitt289]

How expensive was the PM Horton if you don't mind me asking? What do you think of the quality of the kit? Better/ equal to the the Revell?

[Dirkpitt289]

I will let Splash tell you how much he paid, but you could get them at these prices:
Revell
PM

... and the respective prices reflect the respective quality. Actually, the quality of the Revell (ex-Dragon) kit is far in excess of the PM kit.

First, the PM link didn't work.

I figured as much. I haven't been very impressed with what PM kits I've seen, but this one looked a little different. I think the Revell is the kit to get.

Hi Guys

Sorry I have been slacking and did not reading my threads. Thanks for all the comments on the colour scheme, it’s surprising how effective a simple silver red & white scheme works on the Horten, I suspect it because its such a simple uncluttered shape.

Brickie, I totally agree the NS-DAP is cheesy and I’m not adding it.

Dirk, The kit in the UK cost less than £3 and the Revell kit costs £10, if I was doing a Horten as a proper subject, I would have gone for the Revell kit, as it look a far superior kit, but if you are after a fun simple kit at £3 you can’t go far wrong with the PM kit.

I plan to try making a mask for the Swastika tonight, photo to follow if I'm successful.

Regards
Splash

I cut out the swastika mask and sprayed it Nato Black and I’m happy with the end result.

Very nice.

Did you get the inspiration from this from the Luft46 website? I was very tempted to do the same scheme but Jack wanted green/green over blue.

[Dazzled]

Brilliant "retro" paint job. Love it.

A bit more work done on it today.
