The Ho 229 was made of wood, since wood was not a "strategic" material and this would decrease the weight of the plane.
When the Gotha factory was captured by American troops in April 1945, several different version of the Go229 were under construction, two seat all weather fighters, trainers and single seated fighter bombers.
