Designed using 953 high-quality COBI pieces, this large-scale model spans 52.5 cm and features newly developed block elements to replicate the aircraft’s distinctive nose, engine intakes, and pilot cabin. The model includes detailed printed graphics throughout, retractable landing gear, and a fully accessible cockpit with a test pilot figure outfitted with two interchangeable headgear options—one featuring brand-new prints. With its light blue undercarriage and realistic markings, this model is a must-have for fans of experimental aircraft, aviation history, and stealth design innovation.
The Horten Ho 229—also known as the Gotha Go 229—was an experimental German jet aircraft developed by the Horten brothers. Intended as a “Wunderwaffe” (Wonder Weapon), the Ho 229 incorporated radical flying wing technology, a composite wood structure, and twin jet engines, making it a forerunner of stealth aircraft. Though it never reached mass production, its design left a lasting legacy on post-war aviation.
