Bill_S Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Harv, do you really want resin parts that fragile? The Revell He-219 A-0/A-2 comes with two different antenna configurations (either step 70 or step 71 in the instructions): I would think the ones that come out straight might be better on the Horten (too close to the intakes otherwise?). If you want them, you know what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems all the sets don't include the arms......harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Let me check my BF110 kit. I've got the AIMs G-4 conversion for it but as my donor kit is the night fighter version if I don't need the kit bits, I can send those to you.

harv Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Carl buddy, that would be an awesome life savor ! Its that or forget the radar !......harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Owl fixes the incorrect arms with its own resin replacement. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Owl-Decals-1-32-HEINKEL-He-219A-0-FULL-RADAR-SET/191124982033?hash=item2c7fefc911:g:oSsAAOxyUylTPaZf:rk:1:pf:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ok, I checked the BF110D nachtjäger kit. I don't need the radar antennae for the G-4 so you can have those if you want. Only thing is the arms are really square. I think they might look out of place on the Ho229. The other thing I dug up is the radar from the Revell FW190 A-8/R11kit. The arms are at least round. There's two of these sprues and I'm planning to build it as a day fighter so won't need them either. They're supposed to be mounted on the wings but should be adaptable for mounting to the nose of the Ho229. Let me know if either set works for you.

harv Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think your right Carl. Might be more trouble than what there worth. Martin, I must have read directions wrong. It does seem they are included.I think I'll just bite the bullet an order it off Ebay......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I would go with Master and scratch my own arms. Resin antennas are ultra delicate and prone to brake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Harv, how about the arms from the Me-262 ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I would take Carl up on the Fw190 Yagi antlers... And put them out on the wings. Realistically (and I say this tongue-in-cheek, because after all it's a what-if anyway), there would be precious little room in the nose of the Horton for the electronics is it stands. Or, for a cleaner look, a FuG 217 Neptune array... S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hmmm, it could work on the wings. There is very little room on the 229 nose. One question, would these be used for ground targets ?. This place and people are awesome!!!....harv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi Harv. ever thought about Albion slide fit tubes and soldering / glueing. A brass construction is very sturdy and might solve your problem. There was a great built of a Ju-388 by Wouter here and he had a similar problem. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/4145-ju-388-l-1/?page=3 Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
