Zokei-Mura Inc. have sent us details of their eagerly awaited 1:48 Horten Ho 229 flying wing. Like the popular largescale version that preceded it, the new model will feature extensive interior details. The 1:48 Ho 229 is due for release on November 21st.
Overturning the common sense of what is a 1/48 scale kit!!
Every section has been downscaled but reproduced in its smallest details just like in 1/32 scale! Of course, as for the 1/32 scale, the internal structure (frame structure, Jumo 004 engines etc.) is reproduced in fine details and can be admired after assembly thanks to the external clear parts! And as a bonus, the engine suspension stand is also included in the box!! By displaying it after completion, think about the maintenance scenery of that time and feel like you've entered a new world of scale models!

Plastic model kit (including 2-color molded parts, clear & grey) / Total parts: 198

MRP - 5,800JPY

Oh goodie! I've been looking forward to this model. But 1/32 or 1/48? I am torn. Probably both someday.

I must admit that the 1/48 scale is very, very tempting. Then again, so are all their 1/48 scale kits. Joel
