Some of you may have noticed me being rather absent here from time to time. This was because I had to meet a tight schedule when doing a commission build:

The new 1/32 scale Zoukei-mura Horten Ho 229!!! :yipee:

I will do a kind of WIP of this build here later. Until then here are some pictures of my Horten together with my Ju 88A-1, taken today. Hope you like them!

Awesome! Can't wait to see the WIP! Comparing the 229 to the 88, it is bigger than I would've expected.

I missed this the first time around. I had no idea that the Horten had such a wide wingspan until you paired it up with the Ju-88. Not a small aircraft at all, as say perhaps the Komet.

Beautiful work Thomas. I notice you posed the spoilers closed. I wish I had done that. They were a real pain to attach open. Can you still remover the wing attachment pins? I failed to notice they were all different and eventually had to glue them in place. All in all It was a fun aircraft to build, especially the engines. Yours look great.
