Blohm & Voss BV-141

Guy Rump Yazar
Another older kit to start after the RAF Hudson. 🙂

Matti Thomaes
I'll follow, probably one of the most whaky aircraft of WW2.

Finn
I'm in

Today I made a start on the BV 141, cockpit painted with Vazllejo Model Air RLM02. Crew added. 🙂

Welcome Matti & Finn, hopefully this strange aircraft will take shape soon. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Lukasz G & Franck G. 👍

Djordje Nikolic
I hope that model doesn't cause too much trouble. I've never seen it done so I'm looking forward to it!

Guy Rump Yazar
Fuselage and wings now together. 🙂

I think the main issue will be the amount of transparencies and whether or not they fit sufficiently Djordje. I have dry fitted them and they do seem ok though. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Matt T, Djordje N, Vincent & 1 other mate. 👍

Nicolas
I'm in. I love the asymetrical concept of the late 30s and early 40s Blohm & Voss planes.

Dave
Let me find a chair and cup of coffee

Guy Rump Yazar
Wings, fuselage and cupola all together now. Next will be masking the canopies and fitting them. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas & Dave! 👍

Looks really good so far. I remember seeing this in an airplane book when I was a kid.

Guy Rump Yazar
Decals now added. The tail decal is from a after market decal source. Next will be the undercarriage etc and a coat of matt varnish. 🙂

Thanks for the kind comment Ben, greatly appreciated. 👍

Finally completed, undercarriage attached, masks taken off transparencies, other bits added. 🙂

The BV 141 denoted in this build is BV 141B-2 or V 10 and was first flown on 1 June 1941. The BV 141B was flown with a BMW 801 engine. Although never operational, it was planned to send some BV 141s to the Eastern Front but this was cancelled in 1942. The preferred FW 189 Uhu was accepted into operational use by the RLM rather than the BV 141 due in part to the lack of availability of the BMW 801 engines. 28 were built.

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes J35J & SM. 👍
