1/32 Zoukei Mura Ho-229 Opus 2 Number 1

Here's my almost nearly completed 1/32 Zoukei-Mura SWS Ho-229. This thing has taken me months to complete, but the work was worth it. I highly recommend this kit to more experienced modellers. I painted it with Tamiya, Mr Hobby, AK, [...]

It's official. I just heard from the National Air and Space Museum and they have formally accepted my Ho-229 into the museum. It will be on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport. I just have to get it to them in one piece. I [...]

Revell 1:72 Horten Ho 229

My latest kit. It was fun because I was able to have a go again at the desert camouflage, this time using the correct RLM 80 Olive Green colour over the RLM 79. The canopy was the worst fitting part of the kit, leaving a huge gap at the [...]
