This is Dragon's
1/48 scale "Horten 229" flying wing. I modified it using
Reheats etched set# 77. My main reference was Shiffer's book "The
Horten Flying Wing". The model was
demanding in both construction and painting. The use of the Reheat set
required some modification to the kit's parts.

The engines were detailed
using thin fuse wire. The area behind the exhaust nozzles is aluminum
foil. The yellow and white bands are spray painted. The pitot tube
is a needle. Xtra colors and Tamiya was the paint used. Decal are
the one's supplied in the kit.
A demanding kit
to finish, but patience is very rewarding.
This model is
dedicated to all the modelers in Lebanon.
