That's EXCELLENT!  :thumbsup:

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.
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! :)

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

 :cheers: kit

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 :o ;D :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Sounds like you must have gotten a deal on a stash of Bv-141's!
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!
