My old Binks airbrush can't quite do those narrow scribblings, but it sure looks good on yours!

Very very nice, I do like the Horten's they have so much whiff potential also.
Cheers,
Chris.

Thank very much, Craig and Chris.

Here there are new photos, perhaps more clear.

I was sort of hoping an Ho229 V8 was powered by a pair of 426 Hemi's - however I'm definitely not disappointed, really like the 229, one day I will get around to building one. Great model, great airbrush work.

Thanks Ian, excuse me; i thought the V8 never existed. I only wanted to make a whif version. The kit is the model of PM Models -Horten Ho 229 V7-, with a very little modification.

Do you know the real Horten Ho 229 V8?.

I agree on both counts. And there are quite a few whiffed Ho229s on this forum - maybe time they had their own thread. Or even a GB?

Thanks Kitbasher. Your Armstrong Withworth "Manta" is fantastic.
