Blohm & Voss Bv.282 "Nix"

[dumaniac]

Nice build

[Tophe]

Latest update; almost done, weathering and daylight photos will take place in the morrow. 

Please, Earth planet, let you turn faster: I want today to be tomorrow!

Here we go, finally finished   you can take your pick now Tophe  























The BV.282 tangling with the enemy..... Maybe airfix should do a dogfight double or something  






I'm severely tempted to do another one, maybe in Mediterranean colours or possibly a heavy ground attack version on the eastern front, you're all welcome to take this idea and run with it by the way, I'd love to see what you could do with a BV.282  

[NARSES2]

As many have said it looks soooooo plausible  Much more so then the original that's for sure

Great job and I'd love to see a ground attack version after all there was a ground attack version of the Fw 187 in prototype form

[Tophe]

  Wonderful! Hurrah! What a beauty (of the bad side alas)...

Here we go, finally finished   you can take your pick now Tophe  

Updated, yes, with happiness...

My thoughts exactly  wonder how many 37mm's it could hold  plus bombs and rockets too 

[zenrat]

37mm?  No, a 75mm at the least.  Maybe even an 88.

Very good job.  Looks excellent there coming in above the towelling waves to launch both fish at a coastal coal convoy just off Bognor...

[Rick Lowe]

Use the Pak-40 Gondola from a Henschel 129.

very nice

Exactly your shape Bv.282 was a drawing of Igor Shestakov in the early 2000s (as "hypothetical symmetric Bv.141"):
see http://www.geocities.ws/asymmetrics/wif.htm
Anyway, it is wonderful to have actually built it. Congratulations again!

[RAFF-35]

I'll use whatever cannon I can find  although I think that an 88 would tear the frame apart

That's amazing, I searched and searched to see if anyone had done this before and I could only find one photo of the model with the horizontal stabiliser going between the booms 

[zenrat]

I didn't bother searching (I work on the principle everything has been done before), but if I did I might have found this.

Not exactly what I am building but close enough.

In the same page, I think this is another nice idea "Alternative (mirror) BV.141 layout", wolud confuse JMN minds trying to understand what's wrong...

Wow, that's eerily similar, just the extra engine one the nose has been added

What about just a simple tube and a 'pepperpot' muzzle brake, like the Panzer E-100?
(Not meaning a 128mm gun, just the same style of muzzle brake.)

Although you would probably be best to attach a blast shield between the muzzle brake and the fuselage - maybe a curved one over the actual barrel like the SUU gun pods?

Just a thought

Cheers
