Horten Ho 229 was one of the most unusual aircraft from World War II. The designers of the flying wing, the Horten brothers, managed to build and fly a prototype. The end of the war in 1945 interrupted work on the development of this project. The block model was designed on a scale of 1:32 and matches the size of other aircraft issued in the World War II Historical Collection. The flying wing has a span of 52.5cm and consists of 1,080 elements. Especially for this set we have designed new blocks that perfectly imitate the characteristic nose of the plane along with the pilot's cabin and engine air intakes. The model has access to a cockpit containing detailed prints. The cockpit also contains a figure depicting a test pilot in characteristic flight suit. The pilot has two sets of headgear: a yellow pilot cap and a cap with all-new prints! The model also has retractable landing gear. The blocks feature high-quality prints with aircraft markings and details. The bottom is made of blocks in a new light blue color and also has multiple prints with markings. Additionally, the set includes a plate with the name of the aircraft. This futuristic-looking historic aircraft is a must-have for all history fans and collectors.
