I knew that Revell Monogram had a splinter company called Revell of Germany for a few years but what I never considered was that Revell of Germany would have different kits than the American company. I was researching other kits on Amazon and I came across a bunch of kits by Revell of Germany, needless to say several of them ended up on my Amazon wish list. This kit, the Horten flying wing, was a kit I had seen built years ago but never found it. I went ahead and bought it to round out an order to get free shipping. This is the first airplane I have built with the intention of airbrushing it, I'm getting more adventurous since my recent success.
I started by joining wing halves then spraying all the external parts a base aircraft grey, this will act as both primer and camouflage color for the final paint scheme. Next I assembled the cockpit in the "fuselage" half, there wasn't much to do there and the canopy will obscure most of it but still a place for detailing. There are still some internal things to put together before the body halves go together but an initial test fit works well.
