SWS 1/32 Horten Ho 229B Flying Wing — Premium WWII-Era Jet Prototype Model Kit
This spectacular 1:32-scale model kit captures one of WWII aviation’s boldest “what if” designs — the legendary wing-only jet fighter/bomber from late-war Germany. It’s ideal for serious modelers and aviation enthusiasts who want a centerpiece build with exceptional detail, engineering realism, and deep historical intrigue.
Scale: 1:32 — large enough for fine detail and an impressive display presence (wingspan ~ 525 mm, length ~ 283 mm, height ~ 112 mm).
Build Options: Choose between single-seat (prototype-style) or two-seat night-fighter (Ho 229B) configuration.
Interior Detail & Clear Panels: True to the “Super Wing Series” (SWS) philosophy — many of the fuselage and wing panels are molded in clear plastic so you can display the internal structure, fuel tanks, engines, cockpit framework, and wing internals.
High Parts Count: ~369 parts total — including grey and clear components, decals, and masking sheet — giving a comprehensive build experience and realistic final model.
Engines & Equipment: The kit includes detailed jet engine components, internal fuel tanks, and structural elements, giving it mechanical depth far beyond typical scale-aircraft kits.
Markings & Versatility: Comes with multiple marking options and decal sheets, providing flexibility in finishing — whether for prototype appearance or “what-if” night-fighter schemes.
The original aircraft — the real Horten Ho 229 — was one of the only jet-powered flying-wing prototypes of WWII. Its radical design and jet propulsion made it a truly futuristic concept for its time.
This kit not only reproduces the external shape but delivers a deeply detailed interior — fueling tanks, structural framing, and engine internals — making it more of an engineering model than a simple scale-replica.
The option to build a two-seat night-fighter variant gives it a dramatic “what-if” dimension — a chance to imagine how history might have unfolded had this radical design entered combat service.
This is a high-detail model kit — assembly will be involved, with many small parts and a layered build process (interior first, then exterior). Patience and attention to detail are highly recommended.
Glue and paint NOT included. Because of the internal detail and optional clear parts, many builders choose to “paint-as-you-go,” especially if they plan to display the clear-panel version.
The finished model will be large — the wingspan and overall size make it a striking display piece rather than a simple shelf model.
Experienced modelers who enjoy complex kits with deep structural detail
WW II aviation enthusiasts and collectors seeking iconic or “what if” aircraft
Display builders who want a visually impressive centerpiece
Hobbyists who enjoy a challenge and love seeing the inner mechanics of a historic jet-wing aircraft
