ZM 2 seat Horten 229

[mark williams]

Just wondered if any one knows if the new to be released 2 seat Horten 229 will be clear plastic? (this is not the old resin conversion but a new kit for 2025)

Hope not. I thought the single seater came with both clear and grey styrene.  
Edit: single seater is all clear on main assemblies. And it’s not really clear as with the Do-335. 
 

The clear plastic is a mess.

I completely missed this one coming out. I have to wonder where they got the data to do a 2 seater as far as I know none were ever built[ be happy to be proven wrong though]

I hadn't heard they're going to do it in plastic. Do you know if it's going to be a conversion or a full kit?

 

I bought the resin conversion and it was quite the disappointment. Someone I know who also got one was even sent a replacement set from ZM and it was just as bad.  

 

An IM one would be a huge step up.

Dragon made a 1/48 kit thirty years ago.

I think it was only ever a proposal, at best.
