Blohm und Voss BV141 L

[loupgarou]

Having found a cheap BV 141 at the Mons (Belgium) show, I couldn't resist starting a project I had thought of long ago.
Spot the difference:



For the moment I'll be stopping here as I don't have painting facilities here, and don't want to bring back to Moon Main base a model with fragile parts atttached.
My dream would be to show it in a diorama with a "regular" BV 141 and some airmen scratching their heads.

Didn't someone on here do that a couple of years ago?

At first you can't see anything wrong, but then it dawns on you.

Quite possibly. Most everything has been done here.
The final spark for my build was the Bristol 142m-2. 
In my model designation, L stands for links, of course. Cockpit is on the left. Regular BV 141 should be called BV 141 R, for rechts.

Clearly in your universe WW2 never happened & B&V sold the BV141 to places like the UK, Australia, New Zealand & Japan, where we all drive on the opposite side of the road to Europe & the Americas, so the obvious thing to do was to build their BV141's the opposite way around, hence to BV141L, as opposed to the Euro-American BV141R.


BTW shouldn't it be the other way around? After all, we drive right-hand drive cars & you guys drive left-hand drive cars!

That's a very profound question! If Shakespeare had known it, he would have written a better tragedy about it, instead of that silly Hamlet.

Great idea Loupgarou.....! at last an BV-141 to fight the Bristol 142-M2 on the right side......right?!

Great concept and neat work so far!  Looking forward to more of this interesting build.  And you're right, most everything has been done here  .  And Lord forgive us for things that are yet to come  .

Best regards,
