While strolling around SMW2010 (as you do.....) I came across a 1/48 model of the Bv155 V2!

It was positively HUGE, and the builder told me it was an Arba resin kit but that he had to '....bend the white metal landing gear legs straight before every show as the model was SO heavy!'

I don't understand why Messerschmitt put the tailplane half way up the fin though, perhaps to avoid wake effects from that monster wing? Ideas on a post-card please...
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit
