I actually am one of the original 10 that put down a deposit to start the project. I had to have one!

If I had the room, The 229 would look killer as a Hydra Plane. Can not wait to see the end product from Pickel.

I hope to be done with it in about 2weeks


Here is one of the latest pics.

This is the coolest pic of all of the original H0 229 I wonder if this started all of the flying saucer sightings ? it was taken as the middle section was being uncrated in Indiana after the war.

Good lord that is crazy awesome! I can't wait to see finished product. You really put the companies to shame.
