That kit is right at the top of my wish list. I really like the idea of building it with clear skin. Of all the amazing aircraft produced by Germany in WW-2 the horten is the coolest.

What an incredible model. A completely detailed and accurate miniature. I really like the idea of the clear skin, and would actually paint some of it. The idea of not needing to remove panels, or the opposite of having to install panels (which never fit correctly) is a quantum leap forward. Looking at the level of detail in 1/32 scale, and the fact that the model is rather small, I'm not sure that I would prefer a 1/48 scale version, where I would certainly struggle with attaching all those parts.

Hi Joel

The clear skin isn't confirmed yet:

"All the developing team members are looking forward to hearing from you.

Can you see the structure of the airframe through the clear parts?

If we receive many requests, we will plan to produce these clear parts for sale. Please let us know what you think about it."

Hopefully Zoukei-Mura are picking up on the highly positive feedback here - but drop them a line if you really want to be sure (and don't forget to mention you saw it on Aeroscale ).

All the best

Rowan
