Horten Ho 229 - Metal Construction Set

Some aircraft become famous for what they achieved. The Horten Ho 229 became famous for what it might have become.

Featuring a 23cm wingspan in 1:72 scale, this metallic model recreates one of the most unusual aircraft ever designed—a machine whose flying-wing shape still looks futuristic nearly a century later.

Developed in Germany during the final years of World War II, the Ho 229 combined jet propulsion with a radical aerodynamic layout unlike anything flying at the time. Many aviation historians consider it one of the most influential experimental aircraft ever conceived, with concepts that would later appear in modern flying-wing and stealth aircraft.

Assembled from over 120 pieces, the model features a distinctive wireframe structure, stainless steel components, detailed jet engines, landing gear, and a recreated cockpit that allows you to appreciate the engineering hidden beneath its iconic silhouette.

For builders who enjoy the stories behind the machines as much as the machines themselves, few aircraft are as fascinating as the Ho 229.
