A pair of really beautiful birds. I don't usually care for jet aircraft but the Horton is so sleek and simple looking that it is a thing of real art. The Arado is superbly done and looks well detailed. A wonderful pair by TGM. Don't expect they'll be around long.:wink2: -- Al
 
Both planes look nice. However the front wheel of the Horten seems low. It should be higher than both rear wheels. Check out the picture below for comparison.

I noticed less than perfect painting on some of the photos on the email I received from Thomas Gunn; several noticeable spots. I purchased a Roland and had this issue. I had to have it professionally repaired. For that price, I expect perfect painting.

The TGM newsletter announcing this aircraft addresses the landing gear as being the earlier, original gear which was of a lower height that the later gear illustrated in your photo. -- Al
