Horton Ho 229 D Luftwaffe, Germany, 1945

Luft-X  1/72 - LUFT004A

Horton Ho 229

A true revolutionary aircraft, the Horten Ho 229, the first flying wing powered by jet engines, was the subject of a production order and would probably have been put into service if the war had continued until 1946. This model of one of three Ho 229 fighter-bomber prototypes built for flight testing is every bit as creative as the originals, right down to the realistic flying wing body and jet engines.

The Luft-X Collection showcases these remarkable aircraft, showcasing secret German WWII aircraft developments and asking the unsettling question: What if?

Luft-X display aircraft have the following features

• Cast resin construction requires no assembly.
• Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
• Pad-printed markings and panels that won't rub off like decals.
• Transparent roofs revealing the detailed interiors of the cockpits.
• Display stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
