Ooh, now that is sweet! Maybe I'll try some more VEB kits if they can turn out that well!

Ya know, I was dumb enough to pass one of these up a couple years back and have not been able to find another since.

Excellent build!

Wow what a great build!
I'be got the same kit but reboxed as Revell.
I'be added a pair of Rolls-Royce Griffon engines to mine and will add a landing gear. Found a rear radome and fitted this to the tail.
Still working on the ASW/AEW lumps and bumps.
Going to rename this the Shorts Swan.

OK, how did I miss this one?

Simply outstanding!

Nice, and respect. The old VEB Plasticart kit is basic and brittle, to say the least, but it is an excellent canvas for conversions and individualisations. Great work, I like the nose radome arrangement a lot.

Done before I got here.

Excellent upgrade. I can see The Expendables Russian equivalent using one.

Thanks Fella's it sure was a while ago when I did this one. I have another 2 in the stash, one will get gull wings and landing gear and either contra turbo props,or a pair of jet engines. The other will will be something similar to this but with landing gear. Got to finish the Be 200 first though.

No, that's not wrong, that is right! Excellent concept and conversion, and the perfect (to me) kit to use. I really like all of the mods you have done. I have one of these started as well, but going a little different direction with it. Love the camo also!
