    My HO 229 Build

    If you are going to make the wings fixed, you could probably zip a couple of screws from the body into the wing root. That way it will be a mechanical connection and should hold up to wing flex forces.

    Which custom should I do first Dap or HUMVEE ?

    This probably may be a little premature but . Which modern upgrade will you guys want ? The DAP version of the Black Hawk or the NEW Humvee turret upgrade. I WILL do this custom AFTER the Sdkfz 251 backdate mod. This could be unfair armor vs aircraft but a lot of guys collect both...

    This is my S1. I had a preorder for $400 for the full build. I have raised the price to $450. As far as new stuff is concerned You can order now. The new HUMVEE turret is still a little away . That goes for the Mh-60 DAP helo parts as well.

    1/18 Ho-229 Flying Wing Getting Close

    I built it up so it should be plenty durable. Extreme heat does awful things to resin though. I made the vacuum canopy so that it will pop into the frame. For strength and easier to paint. I did drop one with the wings on and nothing happened. About 3 feet.

    1/18 Ho-229 Flying Wing Getting Close

    I think it took about 7 months to get to production about 2 months to finish. Of course I did not work non stop on it. But it still took about 9 months to get to this point. It sure was a lot of work. I doubt if I will ever do a full build aircraft again. I will stick to strictly...

    best material for slings

    This is a tip from the Hun who gave me the idea years ago. Use a tooth paste tube. Cut it into small strips. Use a mosquito mesh for the buckles. You need to cut the mesh/ screen into tiny squares and thread the strips through them. Works for slings and helmet chin straps. The strips...
