▋Important notes for assembly, paint colors, engine assembly
Now, before beginning the assembly, please read the important notes for the SWS kit carefully and check the colors you will need for this kit. When you are ready, let's start with the engine, the heart of the aircraft. With this kit, you can choose to build either the "Ho 229 B" two-seater or the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater. The engine assembly is the same procedure for both. Assembling the "Jumo 004" axial-flow turbojet engine will be a thrilling experience almost like assembling the real engine.

▋"Ho 229 B" two-seater fuselage (frame) assembly (P.15~)
After assembling the engine, the next step is constructing the internal structure by connecting them with steel pipe frames, like a spider's web. Enjoy the "exquisite design" based on thorough research of actual aircraft and in-depth study of materials.

▋"Ho 229 V3" single-seater fuselage (frame) assembly (P.29~)
The overall frame structure remained the same, but please note the differences in suspension methods resulting from the armament differences. For example, the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater had a total of two MK103 one on each side while the "Ho 229 B" two-seater could have up to six autocannons with additional four MK 103 on both sides.

▋"Ho 229 B" two-seater cockpit assembly (P.38~)
Take a look at the cockpit, which has a bathtub shape with armored walls similar to modern jets. The tandem-seat cockpit, with the pilot in the front and the radar operator in the rear, contrast with the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater, whose cockpit consists of a steel tubular frame resembling a prototype.

▋"Ho 229 V3" single-seater cockpit assembly (P.43~)
Check out the exposed cockpit, nestled between the engines on either side. You can see the ground clearly through the front landing gear, giving it a very prototypical appearance. While assembling it, imagine yourself in the pilot's seat and you can almost hear the engine roaring.

▋"Ho 229 B" two-seater landing gear assembly (P.47~)
Once the internal structure of the fuselage is complete, the next step is to assemble the sturdy landing gear. Due to the differences in cockpit structures, the mountings of the landing gear below the cockpit also vary, especially for the front landing gear. In the "Ho 229 B" two-seater, the front landing gear is securely mounted to the bottom of the bathtub-shaped cockpit floor. This design not only enhances the strength of the front landing gear but also improves the safety of the pilot.

▋"Ho 229 V3" single-seater landing gear assembly (P.51~)
In the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater, the front landing gear was directly connected to the tube frame of the fuselage, so the pilot's feet were completely exposed to the ground, passing through the front landing gear. The impact upon landing must have been quite significant.

▋"Ho 229 B" two-seater fuselage outer panels assembly (P.55~)
After the landing gear is installed in a three-point stance, the internal structure of the fuselage is complete. The "Ho 229 B" two-seater is characterized by its pointed outer panel shape, which connects to the extended nose section and forms a two-seat cockpit. As a result, the intake shape has also been modified to extend forward.

▋"Ho 229 V3" single-seater fuselage outer panels assembly (P.59~)
The Ho 229 V3 single-seater has a short nose, giving it a distinctive boomerang-like shape.

▋Wings assembly (P.62~)
The assembly procedures for the wing sections are the same. While both feature the unique boomerang-like shapes of all-wing aircraft, the "Ho 229 B" two-seater stands out when placed side by side with its extended nose and the FuG 220 Lichtenstein radar antenna. Additionally, the speed reduction component adds to the appeal of this aircraft.

▋"Ho 229 B" two-seater final assembly (P.66~)
Finally, it's time for the final assembly. Once you attach each distinctive part, such as the ejection seat and canopy, you are almost done. However, don't let your guard down. Read the instructions carefully until the very end and finish it beautifully with your own hands!

▋"Ho 229 V3" single-seater final assembly (P.73~)
While assembling it, you will discover how the length of the front landing gear well door and the canopy changes depending on the length of the nose. This is the true essence of SWS kit, where you learn about "structure for function, configuration for structure."

▋Painting and decals
This kit allows you to choose to build it as the "Ho 229 B" two-seater or the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater. The "Ho 229 B" two-seater features two camouflage patterns often seen on night combat variants, while the "Ho 229 V3" single-seater features a standard three-color camouflage scheme with two distinctive tail markings. Both are designed speculating "what if the aircraft had been deployed in actual combat" and you can enjoy the color scheme and markings of your choice.
