The model is made in the popular \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72 scale\u003c\/strong\u003e, which guarantees excellent detailing while maintaining a convenient size for display purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHorten Ho 229\u003c\/strong\u003e aircraft (also known as Horten Ho IX) was a groundbreaking aviation project designed by the Horten brothers for the \u003cstrong\u003eLuftwaffe\u003c\/strong\u003e. Constructed during the final phase of \u003cstrong\u003eWorld War II\u003c\/strong\u003e, it was developed in response to Göring's “3x1000” project requirement — a bomber capable of carrying a 1000 kg bomb load over a distance of 1000 km at a speed of 1000 km\/h. The Horten H IX V1 prototype took to the air for the first time in January 1945. This aircraft was revolutionary, utilizing two state-of-the-art BMW 003 jet engines and a flying wing design with a steel and wood structure. Due to the waning conflict and Allied bombing, it never entered operational service, yet it formed the basis for the development of future jet and stealth aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser nation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1944–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit material:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality plastic; the model does not include photo-etched or metal parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic model kit for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAMP 72017 Early Horten H IX V1\u003c\/strong\u003e set contains precisely cast parts, panel lines, and authentic reproduction of the prototype with BMW 003j engines.
