Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Ho-229 nachtjaeger mit schragemusik:

http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/9-flugzeuge-ww2/9334-horten-ix-go-229-pm-modell.html

I wonder why it has both old and new style radar noses?

Good question! Anyone who can make something of that PM kit deserves kudos but that is a interesting question, my other would be the oblique weapons, either 20 or 30 mm guns would be way longer and would be dragging breech blocks on the runway. I'm thinking the idea is that those tubes are for unguided raketen.
 
  BTW, it was being presented with a crude 229 kit that actually got me building again after a decades' hiatus in the early 90's.

maybe the dish-type radar didn't work out so the antlers were a fall-back fit ?

That aircraft must have been taken to Canada & they used the front bits in the design of the CF-100  ;D
you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

The single seat Ho-229 from PM was pretty crude, but the two seat version isn't bad. Not as good as the Revell Ho-229, but still much better than the original 229.

The "antler" radar had a 2m wavelength; the dish had a wavelength in the cm range. The two together (and with that many antenna!) looks wrong, but it's not my model.

One for air-to air, the other for navigation? Or for fooling ECM systems? Looks interesting either way.

The cockpit looks big enough for 3 people looking at those pictures too.

Antlers for search , radome for fire control , though it is somewhat big for it . On the other hand I have read the radomes on the German types were only containing the antler antennas for aerodynamic reasons and were not indicative of trainable dishes . So it might simply be an improved form of the forest the Me-110 carried .

Here's the FuG240 Berlin Radar that fits in the nose cone. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Radar_berlin_fug240.jpg
Dish looks trainable, it's based on our radar so if ours were trainable (and I haven't a clue if they were!) their's probably were too.

Yes, the one that tahsin is thinking of is the Morgenstern array antennas for the SN-2, which were mostly enclosed in an aerodynamic plywood cone on the JU 88 and the 388's.
