English:
Resin kit of a german single-wing fighter project, the Horten Ho X Entwurf 2 scale 1/72 by Bird Models (2011). The kit contains 18 resin parts, a vacumformed canopy, 1 photo of the built model and an english - german instruction sheet; no decals included.
This project was apparently envolved as an
intermediate step from the basic layout; an aircraft developed into a flying
wing and featuring a raised fuselage. There had been two stages of design,
Horten Ho X (1) and X (2).
A lightweight single-seat fighter within the scope
of the Jägernotprogramm. For initial trials up to 500 km/h, it was planned to
power it with a 240 hp As 10C and in its final form with a 1,300 kp thrust HeS
011 turbojet (1946).
the "almost" flying wing features swept wings with
compound sweep on the leading edge, a flat wedgeshaped fuselage with nose
pressurised cockpit and rear dorsal turbojet, one variant having lateral air
intakes behind the cockpit. Armament was 3 x MGs or MKs.
