Why this kit matters
The Horten Ho 229A was a revolutionary German jet-powered flying wing developed during the final years of World War II. Designed by the Horten brothers, it was the first aircraft to combine a jet engine with a flying wing layout, aiming for high speed and reduced radar signature. Only a few prototypes were built, but its advanced design influenced post-war aviation and stealth technology.
The Ho 229A stands out for its futuristic appearance and engineering, making it a favourite among model builders and aviation historians. Building this kit offers a hands-on way to explore the technical achievements and bold ideas of 1940s aircraft design.
