## Description

The Horten Ho 229 was one of the most extraordinary aircraft from World War II. Designed in the scale of 1:32, the set matches the size of other aircraft issued in the World War II Historical Collection. The flying wing has a span of 52.5cm and consists of 953 elements. Especially for this set we have designed new blocks that perfectly imitate the characteristic nose of the plane along with the pilot's cabin and engine air intakes. The model has access to a cockpit containing detailed prints. The cockpit also contains a figure depicting a test pilot in characteristic flight suit. The pilot has two sets of headgear: a yellow pilot cap and a cap with all-new prints! The model also has retractable landing gear. The blocks feature high-quality prints with aircraft markings and details. The bottom is made of blocks in a new light blue color and also has multiple prints with markings. The Horten Ho 229, also known as the Gotha Go 229, was a German experimental jet-powered aircraft of World War II. Classified as the "Wunderwaffe" (German: Wonder Weapon), it was supposed to be one of the projects that would help reverse the unfavorable course of the war for Germany. With its performance, Horten attempted to meet the requirements of the Luftwaffe competition for the construction of an "America Bomber" that would be able to hit targets in the USA. This extraordinary plane is the result of the Horten brothers, Walter and Reimar, who were not engineers, but aviation enthusiasts with extremely bold ideas. They specialized in the development of flying wing aircraft. The prototype was originally designated Horten H IX. The plane was equipped with two Junkers Jumo 004B turbojet engines. The design of the plane was extremely innovative. The wings were delta-shaped and the fuselage was made of wood and composites, which reduced radar reflection. Some sources claim that the Horten Ho 229 was the first stealth aircraft in history. Research conducted after the war confirmed the reduction in radar reflection, but it was not significant enough to consider this aircraft undetectable to radar. The Ho 229 prototype was built and flown numerous times. The end of the war in 1945 interrupted work on this amazing project. The Horten Ho 229 undoubtedly influenced the development of post-war jet aircraft in Europe and America. The design of the Horten brothers is still shrouded in an aura of mystery, delights with its timelessness and modernity and ignites the imagination of lovers of history, military technology and aviation!

Review: Impressive WWII Model with Exceptional Detail - The COBI WWII Horton Ho 229 is an outstanding. Build Experience: The build is both fun and challenging, with 500+ pieces that fit together perfectly. The instructions are clear, and COBI’s brick quality is excellent—comparable to major brands. The process highlights the distinctive shape of the Ho 229, especially its sleek wings and cockpit. Design and Details: COBI has done an excellent job replicating the futuristic look of this experimental aircraft. The camouflage pattern is printed directly onto the bricks (no stickers!), which adds to its authenticity and durability. The inclusion of retractable landing gear and movable parts enhances the model’s realism. Overall, the COBI Horton Ho 229 is a fantastic addition to any WWII or aviation-themed collection. It combines history, creativity, and quality in one exceptional package. Highly recommended!
Review: Another great COBI set! - Another great COBI build! They never disappoint. We got this for our 10-year-old son for Christmas, and he built it himself over the course of two days. Probably would be doable in one day if you don’t have a bunch of other new sets and toys to distract you. The difficulty level was perfect for a 10-year-old who loves these sets and knows what he’s doing. All pieces were included—we’ve never had issues with that with Cobi. This is a big set, with retractable landing gear, so I would say it’s worth the money. These things are pricey, that’s just the way it is. (One of the biggest shocks of parenting for me is how expensive LEGO sets are!) But the joy my son gets from these sets is off the charts. He particularly like Cobi because he prefers sets of real military vehicles.
