1⁄32
Sunday, May 04, 2014 - 08:34 AM UTC
Zoukei-mura have released details and pictures of a 1/32nd Ho 229 Horton. The pictures of the completed model are test shots.
Text and pictures are from the Zoukei-mura Old Man Blog.
Hello, SWS fans!
This time, I decided to meet many requests from all over the world!
However, please keep in mind that the pictures of the SWS Horten still show a test shot.
Even though this 1/32 Horten is a test shot, it is pretty well made, isn't it?
Taking it as a base, the development team is finally entering a finishing process in details from now.
However as you can see in these pictures, it looks like being ready for the release any time…
That's right.
As a matter of fact, if I give the "OK" to its release, or if you say "it's good enough", this Horten has already reached a level high enough to be released any time.
However, in Japanese culture, and in the belief of Zoukei-mura, we always have the stance that "makes assurance double sure".
We don't want to deliver our items just by thinking that they might be good enough to be released.
What? You want it as soon as possible? I understand.
All the Luftwaffe fans, please look all over the pictures of Horten under development on this blog, and let us know your opinion and request.
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.
In this kit, just like the real aircraft, the spars of the main wing and the fuselage are separately recreated as different parts.
If you choose a certain way of building the kit, the main wing can be detached. So yes, the SWS Horten is easy to store.
With this SWS Horten kit, you can completely understand how "Jumo 004" engine was mounted on the airframe and how it gave the power and flight ability to Horten. You will be surprised by the mental strength of the Horten's pilots who withstood all the vibrations and thunderous noise!!
The structure and mechanism of the three landing gears which enabled Horten to take off and land steadily are also fully reproduced.
The huge front tire is striking.
And the big fuel tanks on the right and left main wings are also a specific characteristic of Horten.
Considering their size, Horten must have needed a quite a lot of fuel.
Will a pilot be included to the SWS Horten kit?
It won't be included, but we are planning to produce many extra parts like mechanics figures.
How is the internal structure of "Jumo 004" engine recreated?
Of course, it is completely recreated. As you can see in the picture, there is also a carriage for the engine. Please recreate the scene of Horten being in maintenance.
We experimentally produced clear parts and attached them to the airframe. This is best suited to the fans who want to look inside the aircraft. You can see the cockpit and the internal structure without removing the panel. The more you look at it, the more you notice that the form of this aircraft is really unique and so advanced!
One of the pictures shows the entire aircraft. You can see that this aircraft is unexpectedly small considering the size of figures.
And if possible, would you like to have a 1/48 scale Horten with the same quality? I think so too!!
We are planning to produce a 1/48 scale Horten as soon as possible! Look forward to it!
Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
