Thanks Jeff and Greg!

This model turned out good and I feel it was worth the effort I put into it.

The bigger DML Horten Ho 229B is nearly finished but no pictures this weekend at least, rain is expected tomorrow.

That"s the PM Kit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Vader says "impressive......most impressive"

I binned mine becuase it was so bad. I went out and bought the revell one instead.

Oh wow  I just love flying wings and to see them executed in such a way is well just  

Just makes me realise the number of stunning modellers we have on this site - and yet the rest of us "run of the mill types" are just as happy to post. Says something about the people on here

Thanks Sisko, Archibald, and NARSES2!

I think this PM kit of the Ho 229 is better than their Me P1111 kit.

One thing I did not like about this kit was the top and bottom wing halves were way too flat, I dipped the wing tips in very hot water and bent rear of the wing tips upward to add the same amount of washout to them that the full size Horten had, it took many tries to get it right but it worked.

Well, Narses, you have just read my though. How did you do that?  ^_^

Wow!!! Damm fine job Matrix. Nothing less than superb quality there. I love the Horten flying wngs anyways but this example is just amazing. I have one of the PM 2 seaters and a Revell single seater in the stash, I just hope that when I come to build them I can do them somewhere near as good as you.
You sir, are an inspiration to us all.

Thank you lancer!

You are lucky to have one of the Revell kits, a few years ago I had a chance to buy one but passed it up because I thought it was the PM molded kit in a Revell box, now I know better. I can only hope Revell will release that kit again.

If you like this PM kit that I built then you will love the DML Horten Ho 229B I just finished a few minutes ago! Its way better than the PM kit, no pics today of it but maybe next weekend I will have time and if the weather is still good.

We are going to have to all chip in and buy Matrixone a sort of canopy, so he can continue to photograph his bloody stunning *&^%$# models at any time!   All we can do is sigh, and look at greatness!

I have a feeling he could actually build a 1:1 hangar out of styrene for just that purpose!!
