Bv 222 Dockwagen

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Today I managed to glue and get all the 27 parts in place. I would like to give you an impression of the parts in rawness. Some filling was done, a little bit of sanding will follow before tomorrows spraying session.

Mhh, the Dockwagen will not be alone - or?

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Well, not for long..... 🙂
There is a Bv 222 on my shelf begging to be build in the next months. I guess I can´t resist any longer. But in a first step, this Dockwagen will be finished!

Christian Lehmann
Wow, the next large size plane

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Hi Christian! Oh yes, I am looking forward to it. But just for a change I will have to do a 1:32 and a 1:48 build in between 🙂

Christian Lehmann
O.k. large scale instead of large size. Next project will be large in any case

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
That´s very kind, Christian!

Seamless transition from the B-47 to that? You're on a good run. Looking forward to see this one - very promising after your last build.

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Thank you Benoit! The Bv 222 itself is number five in my to-do-list.... 🙂

B. M.
Number five out of?.... :-P

Cannot wait to see the BV222 going!😎

Alec K
Same here 👍. The dockwagen looks great.

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Okay, your interest let the Bv 222 move forward on my to-do-list....
Starting soon I guess!

Christian Bruer
Sounds interesting 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Thanks Christian! I am waiting for delivery of Vallejos RLM 72 and 73. I will give them a try -and then the Bv 222 a go.

Hi Roland. Here you have another follower waiting to see that BV-222 start

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
That´s a great pleasure to me! Welcome 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
The "Dockwagen" is finished, that was quite a little change to "something unusual" for me. It was a pretty nice and not too complex build 🙂 And a usueful addition to any Bv 222 project, of course!

Erik Leijdens
Your dockwagen turned out great Roland. Looking forward to your Bv-222 build.

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Hi Erik, thank you mate!

Cuajete
Well done, Roland! Happy New Year.

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Happy new year to you, Cuajete ....... and all mates the worl over! 🙂

Looking great! - and somehow these colors / weathering reflect WWII ambiance to me. What are the railings made of?

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Thank you very much Benoit! I tried to give the "Dockwagen" a not too exaggerated look concerning wear and tear. But it should be clear on the first glance that it is being used constantly 🙂
The railings- stanchions as the horizontal "ropes"- are kit parts being made of etched metal.

Looking very good! Are there any drawings, schemes, detail pictures of this beast? Will try to scratchbuild one. I don't get the idea how is it steered if pulled by one point only.

Roland Sachsenhofer Autor
Hi Carrey; I am afraid but I can provide no further information whatsoever. For a short while I tried to get some information about that "trolley", mainly because I was interested in the tool systems obviously attached to its frame, but I did not manage to get any information about that. Sorry, mate- and good luck with you scratchbuild I will certainly follow!
