About the Horten Ho-IX V1:
The Horten Ho-IX (Ho 229) was a revolutionary German jet-powered flying wing fighter bomber designed by the Horten brothers during World War II. The V1 prototype represented one of aviation's most advanced designs, featuring a sleek flying wing configuration that reduced drag and radar signature. With its twin jet engines and innovative aerodynamics, the Ho-IX was capable of speeds exceeding 600 mph. Though only prototypes were completed before the war's end, the design influenced post-war aircraft development and is considered a precursor to modern stealth technology.
This model kit is ideal for advanced modelers interested in Luftwaffe aircraft, experimental jets, and the evolution of flying wing technology. Display it alongside other 1/72 scale jet aircraft from our collection.
