FGMM Horten Ho IV
Hello friends! My first entrie is a Ho IV flying wing glider used by germans to research wing configuration, fly in prone position. After WWII americans use this type for investigate flying wing configuration in 50's and 60's.
My intent is a build sotck model with minor improvements. - Reduce the printing for my standard collection scale 1/100. The regular WSAM model is 1/50. - Improved the piston brace of udercarriage of ski. In some hours i'm posting my first progress. This model is very beautiful aand simple to build... See you in next time...

I've got this model printed out in 1/72 scale, but have yet to start it. I'll be watching with interest.

Finished
And now Ho IX finished in 1/100 scale...
          In 1/100 is a impressive wingspam size, in comparation with another objects (mobile phone and pen drive), another interesting comparation: with Ho-229 in same scale and with Catalina to comprove a big spam. Cheers my friends...

Beautiful !! and how fast do you work !!!
 You're going to complete ten models before I can finish one. The wingspan is really impressive, a very large glider. The tailless design empathizes the very large and thin shape. Saludos desde Buenos Aires Alcides
