The 1/32 SWOP Ho 229 B Machine Gun and Pitot Tube Set (SWS24-M01) is a high-fidelity turned-metal/resin detail-upgrade set designed to complement the 1:32 scale Horten Ho 229 B model. It supplies meticulously crafted weapon and flight-instrument components that go beyond the basic kit parts — ideal for builders who want extra realism and accuracy in their flying-wing build.
MK 103 cannon barrels × 2 — the main armament barrels, turned-metal for realism and detail.
Muzzle brakes × 2 — matching the barrels, these add authentic external detail to the armament.
MK 108 cannon barrels × 4 — secondary armament options, giving flexibility to model either a standard or combat-equipped Ho 229 B.
Pitot tube × 1 — a finely detailed pitot probe for the aircraft’s nose or wing leading edge, improving exterior accuracy.
Instructions for installation suited to the Ho 229 B kit configuration.
Weapons realism: By using turned-metal barrels (rather than plain plastic), the set gives realistic scale representation of the Ho 229 B’s cannons — sharper detail, correct proportions, and a more convincing final result under close inspection. This appeals especially if the build will be displayed in a diorama or under good lighting.
Enhanced accuracy: The addition of a pitot tube adds a small but important aerodynamic detail often omitted or simplified in basic kits. It helps give the model a more “finished aircraft” appearance rather than a bare kit look.
Customization options: With both MK 103 and MK 108 barrels included — and multiple overall barrels — the builder has flexibility to choose how heavily armed or combat-realistic to present the Ho 229 B. Good for custom builds, alternate-history schemes, or display variants.
Display / detail build focus: The metal/resin parts and detailed components make this set especially appropriate for modelers who aim for a high-detail, display-worthy version of the Ho 229 B — more than just a quick build.
Modelers building the 1:32 Ho 229 B and wanting historically plausible weapons and pitot detail.
Those aiming for a display-level or museum-quality finish.
Dioramas or display cases where detail and realism matter — especially when viewing the model from close-up.
Builders comfortable with careful assembly and perhaps painting/weathering turned-metal parts to match the rest of the kit.
