I think Tophe will like that one a lot.   Interesting.  How did you get the nacelle mirrored on the opposite side?  Its a good looking and unusual aircraft, to say the least.   :thumbsup:

  How did you get the nacelle mirrored on the opposite side? 

The plank shaped wing of the '141 makes that relatively easy. The wing profiles on either side of the nacelle are indentical so swapping the nacelle and the 'fuselage' is relatively straightforward operation. I looked at doing that once many years ago, and I wish I had done it now!
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! :)

That's a lovely piece of work. The BV-141 has great WHIF potential.I was going to use a pair of R R Merlins/ Griffons instead with a sort of inverted "vee " tail joining the 2 rear fuselages instead of the conventional fins/tailplanes.
