I found in my - small - stash a badly mangled Pioneer Horten 229. I sawed it in 2 and tried joining the halves to various fuselages.
What do the esteemed members think more appropriate?
I used an (old mould) Airfix Sea Hawk, a Revell 1/80 B-57, a Plasticart 1/100 Il-28, and the Trumpeter 1/72 one.
The B-57 should retain tailplaes, I think, while the others would have only fin and rudder.

Sea Hawk ;D

I too was thinking of Sea Swallow. :lol:
And another I like is the 1/100 Il-28, reminds me of a modern FW 42, I'll have to sacrify another Horten. ;D
But I am afraid there is no way those could be included in the present GB. :rolleyes:
The Il-28 just shouts BATPLANE. :rolleyes:
I like the potential look of the 1/100 Il-28. :thumbsup:

True, now that you made the link, I too see it.
Curious how just inserting a fuselage in the middle of a wing changes the look. :lol:
Bury the engines and you have a model of the ultimate development of the DH Comet airliner. 1/200 scale ? BEA colours ? ;D

Me too. I'd also saw out/off the complete Ho 229 mid section with the cockpit, so that the engines are place directly to the fuselage flanks? Result could be a mini Tu-16?
Cool idea, anyway! :thumbsup:
Lovely designs! All of them! :thumbsup:
Tough call. Seahawk ?
