Ho229 at the Udvar-Hazy Center

[JeroenPeters]

Time to to start a new project. This kit has been in my stash a while. Waiting for me to gather the courage. I will be building it in it’s current state: under restoration. Ofcourse with a few creative liberties. It has been excellently done before:

The above is my aim and i’ll be happy with half the result.

This is where i’m at:

Oh cool Jerone ! Isn't it fun ?? I'll try and follow as I'm about a quarter done with mine.....harv

Tough one, but interesting and very tempting. I'm looking forward to your build. I guess you know the SWS Concept Notes from Zoukei Moura. There are some detail pics of the very same airframe included, along with scale drawings and of course some WIP-pics

Cheers Rob

Nice, I'll be interested how you achieve the rusted rear edge to the wing/fuselage.

Well it’s not rust. All plywood that has started to come apart and showing its layers. I have some plans for that...

You're Aitor's bitch. Can't wait to see your interpretation.  

[GusMac]

Ah good point! Brain not engaged. Still interested to see how you get the buckled effect.

This will be great to follow. 

Jeroen, do you have the Kagero book on the Ho229? It's got some great 3D images in it.

Okay, do we just keep naming books at random until we find one you don't have?!

That Kaveri one looks very cool though.

Without wings?

Looking forward to this...

I will attach the wings, but i will pose the mk103 guns seperately on a metal stand. 

[harv]

If you need an extra set of guns, let me know. No guns on mine.......harv

In that case, how about Spirit of Thuringia?
