Just finished this Night Fighter HO229B from Dragon 1:48 Kit.
This kit is not very good as the nose, fuselarge, and wings don't fit very well
and require lot of putty and sanding :mad:
I managed to get it done to a reasonable result but not quite happy with it.
Any way at least I've added another rare plane in the collection :smile2:
Hope you like the pictures.

You sure did a terrific job with the model. Very smooth and finished looking. -- Al
 
You certainly did a great job on it! It looks excellent, skillfully assembled and painted. This is by far my favorite late-war "wonder" weapon. I keep thinking if these ever had the chance to operate, what would have been their success...

Thanks guys.
There is always a big "IF" the war did not end in 45 and the Germans had the chance to use these wonder weapons....
 
Another shot with the pilot included to show how big it is for this jet fighter :)

Thanks Mitch. If Figarti makes this plane and price is reasonable, I will pick it up for sure. Just can't resist this awesome plane in 1:30.

Thanks again Wayne, I've just got myself the day version of this model for a reasonable price. I can't wait to work on it.
