The 1/32 SWS Ho 229 B Antenna Set #SWS24-M02 is a finely crafted aftermarket accessory kit designed to upgrade and complete the radar-equipped “night fighter” variant of the Horten Ho 229 B. It includes four resin/turned-metal replicas of the FuG 220 Lichtenstein radar antennas — the distinctive nose-mounted radar array that distinguishes the Ho 229 B two-seat night-fighter layout.
Because the radar antenna is a signature feature of the night-fighter concept for this aircraft, installing these detailed antennas greatly enhances historical accuracy — especially if you plan to model the Ho 229 B as the radar-equipped interceptor variant.
What’s Included
4 × FuG 220 radar antennas — 1:32-scale, turned-metal/resin parts carefully sized to match SWS specifications.
Instructions for proper placement on the Ho 229 B nose section.
Why It’s Valuable / Who It’s For
Historical realism & accuracy: If you build the Ho 229 B as the “night-fighter / radar-equipped” version (rather than a baseline or prototype variant), this set provides the correct external equipment — something not always included in standard kits.
Detail enhancement: The turned-metal style antennas offer finer scale detail and sturdier parts than many stock plastic versions, making the model more display-worthy, especially under close inspection or with clear canopy panels.
Complementary to other aftermarket upgrades: Works well alongside other SWS accessory sets (e.g. cockpit upgrades, metal landing gear, weapons sets) to build a premium, fully detailed Ho 229 B model.
Recommended Use & Build Tips
Use when building the Ho 229 B “night fighter / radar-equipped” configuration — especially if replicating a hypothetical late-war German night-interceptor.
Requires careful handling and alignment: because the antennas are fine, precise placement (and possibly drilling/sanding) is recommended for a clean, realistic install.
Combine with other SWS detail sets (e.g. instrument panels, weapons, landing gear) to maximize scale realism and make the finished model more museum-quality.
