Thnx guys!

built the wings. Added damage (as per reference). Replaced airbrakes by photo etch airbrakes. Sprayed primer. Polished the primer smooth. 

Cut downnthe trim controls and made my own with leftover pe.

The Ho 229's air break is on the bottom of the fuselage behind the main gear!

On the wing tip's are the Rudder Drag break spoilers. Only one side would be deployed at a time for a turn.  But I believe that you are going to place the wings in a stand / rack like the real one is now. If so there would be no linkage holding them open or shut.?

Hi Randy,

thnx!

You’re right! I indeed already installed the airbrakes. The rudder drag brakes will be all be posed open to make the huge wings look interesting, but i get the picture. It would make more sense to pose them open on just one side. I will actually build the wings.
