elmarriachi Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello, it is done.... the HORTEN HO-229 - 1/32 by Zoukei Mura is finished...! I have used the resin-wheels, the metal landing gear and the turned brass gun barrels & pitot by Zoukei Mura. The fabric seat belts are made by HGW. There was no real plane in commission so that the camouflage colors are totally up to you. I decided for a dark grey/grey-green version with a red stripe and a Hakenkreuz inside. The wings are still removable (therefore the small gap on the topside), the wings are mounted only with four clips (two on upper- two on lower side). The painting was made with colors by Lifecolor, oil colors, pigments and Valleyo clear coats (matt & glossy). ... and here we go ...

Guest Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 NICE !!. Love the paint. You did a great job on this kit. I have toyed with the idea of getting one myself. One question, why are the cup holders behind the seat, and why are there 2 ??...........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hi Harv, I do not have any idea Maybe the pilot had such a hard job that he survived it only with two cups during the flight Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
