Hi everyone

Working on another model, this time the Blohm & Voss P203. Again, as for the EMW A-6, this is modeled from scratch (original documents) and printed subsequently.
The P.203 never made it of the drawing board. And despite the fact that it most likely would have been pretty impractical (featuring both jets and BMW801s) it just looks great.
I am also adding some images of the prints I have done thus far.
The images were rendered in Blender, after checking out a video on how to do motion blur for the props  .

Cheers
Kris

How much would a 72nd one cost? Asking as I only have the Unicraft abortion and really want something better.  Likely to ask for a  second for a mate.

Well, I had my focus set entirely on 1:48. I've done some 1:87 scale before when realizing that life is so much simpler with bigger models. Especially when trying to figure out how to print them in FDM.
But, with that beeing said, 1:72 can certainly be done. I'll give it a try once the prototype is done.

That looks remarkably conventional for a Blohm & Voss aircraft!

☺️ Indeed, it appears to be symmetrical.
The engine combo is a bit unconventional. And the entire design was meant to reduce manufacturing cost, hence the rectangular wing sections.

I know what we call WW2 German armour which never got off the drawing board..paper panzers..but what the hell do ya call the aircraft 
Kris mate another very nice bit of work for a damn nice looking plane...oh I'm a huge lover of multi engined aircraft and this fits the bill nicely..it's got 4 ! 
I wonder what jet engine they intended to use..if they used the ones from a ME262 it would be a waste of time since after 10hrs of use it would eat itself.

Generally, the whole paper Luftwaffe is bundled under the Luft '46 banner but is, sometimes, referred to as the PaperWaffe.

By the way, Paper Panzers are often put under the Heer '46 banner, too.

Ahhh I have heard it called Luft46 before and obviously I'd totally forgotten that 
But the Herr 46 is a new one on me Guy...ive always known it as paper panzers ..those two words basically got me building wiffies since armour is all I built for decades and like alot of us guys I got bored silly building OTB builds.
If I was to build all the WW2 German PP wiffs I'd need a ton of Panthers..Panzer IVs ..Panzer 38Ts and a huge amount of guns ..150mm and 128mm mostly..it would be nuts mate

I plan to add an asymmetric zwilling derivative, to be even more whif...

Done!:

Would definitely take a pair of 72nd ones. Or for me and another for Willie.

I'd be very interested in a 1/72 scale one as like Lee it would mean I could forget the Unicraft one in the stash 

Looks like Kris could have a fair few buyers here.

Have begun to assembly the port side wing.
Just to make sure everything fits. Also told myself to not do any sanding and filling. But couldn't help myself on the nacelle 😄

First vacuum molded canopy.
