That's EXCELLENT!

What are the bulges outboard of the crew nacelles? They look like the radiators on a Bv-155 but there doesn't seem to be any intakes etc.

They are for the very large landing gear tires, designed to allow the P.194 to operate from rough surface airfields.

the bulges are just where the wheels are housed, a bit of an ugly design, a B&V speciality I think. This twin is not as easy to do as the BV-141 because that wheel bay thing has to be removed & filled to make the central joining wing. Also had to use 2 Matchbox pilots thanks to the no-pilot Revell policy, they are just small enough to fit the tiny seats with the help of a bit of plastic surgery, ok until they have to bail out

Sounds like you must have gotten a deal on a stash of Bv-141's!
