Sanding is finished... :)
Just painting the canopy black, tomorrow, and the Bv 141F-4 will be finished... :)

Next week, the Forest Department of Fire Bv141F-4 will be finished. The main canopy is painted (for the main visual observer), the lateral one also (for the mechanic taking care of the single engine, that is at the same time operator of the fire-detection device). Remain only to paint: the pilots' canopy behind the observer...

The Bv 141F-4 model, from 1/72 Airfix, is finished...: :P

What? Isn't the tailplane parallel to the wing? Hey, this is an asymmetric airplane, with special adaptations for balance...

B777LR

Ideas for the two others:
replace the starboard engine with the cabin, and place the single engine on the port side. Add a bigger engine.

Add 4 ME-262 engines underneath the wings, and get rid of piston engines. Fair over the old engine naceles for higher speed.

Replace the 2 engines with 2 props placed in the center section of the booms. Fair over the old engines.

This one is a bit against the law, coz its single tail!
Add a single tail boom (extend the boom a little, and make it more fat) to the fuselage, and a non-T-tail. 2 Rolce Royce engines power it. This will give the luftwaffe a equivelant to the british mosquito!

Thanks for these ideas, I will consider them.
Right now, I am busy with the Flying Pancake, then the Me 262BZ-3, then the Fw 189 time will come... :)
