Started the Horten 229 trippleV.....unfortunately couldn't align the wings as per plan because of the wing/jet intake clash...(should have realised that  :rolleyes:)

I'm loving this one already. Bashing two kits is one thing, but three is determination in the highest order! Sweet!!;D
Look behind you!

Nothing that half a ton of putty won't put right.............

You're not a relative of Tophe's, are you? ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I really like the way you put in the two-seater in the middle and lined up all the exhaust outlets across the wing. I'll be watching the progress of this beauty.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Triple X? Does that mean Barbara Bach will make an appearance? :wub:  ;D

I liked the original version a bit (tiny bit, really) better, but this version looks pretty cool, too.  :bow:



Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

re-named it the Horten 229 triple V  (sorry Barbara Bach fans  ;D)  to tie in with the 3 "V" shaped tail wings  ;D...

hurriedly finished it off as the Allies were coming  ;D....
