Hello,

it is done.... the HORTEN HO-229 - 1/32 by Zoukei Mura is finished...!

I have used the resin-wheels, the metal landing gear and the turned brass gun barrels & pitot by Zoukei Mura. The fabric seat belts are made by HGW.

There was no real plane in commission so that the camouflage colors are totally up to you. I decided for a dark grey/grey-green version with a red stripe and a Hakenkreuz inside.

The wings are still removable (therefore the small gap on the topside), the wings are mounted only with four clips (two on upper- two on lower side).

The painting was made with colors by Lifecolor, oil colors, pigments and Valleyo clear coats (matt & glossy).


... and here we go ...




















































I hope that you like it. The kit was a pleasure to build, made lot of fun. It is highly recommended!

Cheers. Michael

very nice

Very nice looking build - the colours you chose look great.

Whats the access hatch on the bottom back behind the wheels?


I would build this kit if there werent so many other models out recently that I must have. Must.

Michael,
Just an outstanding build of a not so easy to build kit. The paint scheme and weathering came out perfect. I really like how you weathered the BM exhaust areas. Not too little or too much, but just enough to give a sense of exhaust residue.
