Blohm & Voss Bv.282 "Nix"

[Allan]

this one I'll keep my eye on

[RAFF-35]

Progress update:
PSR finished and first stage of painting has begun,





The paint is still drying 

[PR19_Kit]

Looking better and better. 

[The Big Gimper]

Excellent job. Not a What-if but rather an Only-if.

[NARSES2]

Looking better and better. 

Very much so from certain angles it reminds me of that post war Soviet recce type - Su 14 ?

[RAFF-35]

Again, thanking you all for the comments  and again, here's a minor progress update, first layer of splinter has now been applied, painting around the gondola will be done next, then I'll do the undersides and add the weaponry etc

Hmmm, I note the SAR Rotodyne in the background too.

Wow those eyes are sharp

Yeah, but it could've been DHL or fire fighting or something

Very nice twin-boomer!
Glenn built one such double-141 in the past, with connected tailplanes if I remember. You add a good one to the family, thanks!

EDIT: I have added your one to my collection at http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/twin_boom_whatif_1939_45.htm , Blohm und Voss part (with Glenn's one and a Photopainted picture I did in the past, almost exactly like what you did)

Thanks a lot Tophe  I was wondering where I had seen that other 141 before, but in my defence, I discovered that build after I had planned my own  and please could you update the picture on your website when the build is finished? It just looks a bit scuzzy at that stage

Another minor update; the gondola has now been painted, as have the nose cones. I have resisted the urge to pain the nacelles, wingtips and tail sections yellow, this is because I've found out that apparently the colour coding means that the aircraft would've seen service over the Balkans/Crete, and that wouldn't fit in with the timeline of this aircraft  jobs that still need doing; underside painting, torpedoes painted and mounted, the glazed cone adding, the decals adding and then  finally, the weathering 

[PR19_Kit]

Come on, tell us more about the SAR 'dyne pleeeeeeeeease! 

I see undercarriage fairings on the fuselage side and a radome aft of the pylon like a Wessex HAS3 or a Sea King, plus a hefty intake forward of the pylon too.

The 282 is looking REALLY good now.

Of course, I will update when you tell me "this is the finished view". Congratulations again!
