An Awesome Horten Ho-229 !

The Ho-229 was an experimental WWII flying wing jet fighter/bomber, built by the Horten brothers. My replica is armed with 2xMK-103 30mm AT guns and 2xMK-108 30mm AA guns.
This replica is one of the most accurate and detiled replicas ever created, and I think that it's the best flyier of them, because I added to it an internal rudder, that stops it from wobbling in turns.
It has a really short takeoff and a stable flight, and you can land it safely and shortly using the airbrakes.
It is very successful in dogfights and dive bombing (you can add tons of bombs on it if you want to)
I hope you will enjoy it, and thanks for your support and upvotes!

@Itamar3553 thanks. i have done it already. you can see it on my planes page
@corsair013 I already did it but I didn't uploaded it, but you can also do it
@Itamar3553 awsome plane!!! do you mind if i make a 2 seater night fighter out of it?
I love playing with this aircraft on war thunder
@S3b4s7ian I know. I watched an entire documentary on the plane.
@PFCWesty155 It was made of wood because wood is more hard to detect by radar,even the paint was anti-radar... google it if you don't believe me.@PFCWesty155
a little fun fact about these beauties, is that the two that were actually made, (which we have one recovered, in a secret government wearhouse, true story though) the main frame of it was costructed of wood.
Thanks about giving your plane for my plane time traveler!
It is a completely awesome plane. nothing wrong with it.
Beautiful no complants
Yes,yes it is.
Great job on this. Fantastic flight characteristics
@MEGANOOB 30 mm and the best part is that despite being a big callibber gun it fired 650 rounds /min!!!
@Itamar3553 its guns were VEERRRY powerful, I don't remember caliber, it was 30mm (!!!) or 20mm, can't remember, and it supposed to be a bomber. Read wiki about it, it's project "1000-1000-1000", which means 1000 kg bomb with speed 1000KMH to 1000km distance.
YAS FEATURED, congrats!
@MEGANOOB yeahhh, I don't know why did those germans planned to arm such a big plane with only two cannons.... :)
I think that It could be a better fighter if if it carried more fire power (and if it was operational at all)
It's rather cute than dangerous 40's fighter of Future, anyway, cool plane!
Congrats on feature! I WAS RIGHT! yay :D
a lot of self creditting going on, but it actually is more than awesome!
