Horten HO229 (NASM)

[Iggy]

Only the wing!

The Horton brothers certainly had some fascinating aeronautical engineering concepts, from gliders to the final powered airframes.

The H8 and this H9 (V3) were quite remarkable in theory, but it's hard to fathom sitting so snugly between 2 Jumos.

I tried to recreate the H9 (V3) as it is displayed today at the NASM in Virginia.

...Still awaiting the T2-490 paint stencils...but, since it's pretty much done, I thought I'd slap it up here for your consideration.

Cheers
