Blohm & Voss Bv.282 "Nix"

[RAFF-35]

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. 

Hmmmmm...... Only two of your deductions are correct  and you'll note that the rocket tips are missing too 

please could you update the picture on your website when the build is finished? It just looks a bit scuzzy at that stage 

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

Thanks again Tophe

If B&V had put that forward the Luftwaffe would probably have accepted it

I wonder if they could have then sold the RLM a 'cheap, emergency' version in the original configuration?
Half the plane for half the price...

Wow what a neat looking beast !

I like to think so, the Luftwaffe at the time had an irrational hatred of anything other than conventional aircraft. So, with two BMW.132N's, my thinking is that it would be faster than the Ju.88, and with a twin boom, it should have similar, if not better range too, however, I don't think the aircraft would be quite as versatile as the junkers

BMW 132 wouldn't have the output of a Jumo 211, 213 or a BMW 801.

The 141A had the 132 but the B series had the more powerful 801, which the model has.

[RAFF-35]

Even better!  thanks for the info Wooksta 

[KiwiZac]

I want one. She looks the business!

Undercarriage - I'd be torn between taildragger like the 141 (albeit with two tailwheel legs) and a tricycle set-up.

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

[PR19_Kit]

That looks SO darned believable! 

[TomZ]

This look VERY good. Great idea and good execution!

WOW good Work. 

[Army of One]

That looks fantastic........!!! So plausible.......I'll show Max where his torpedoes went.....he'll love it.......

[RAFF-35]

Thanks all, should hopefully look even more real after a tincy bit of weathering  and thanks again H, you've given the Nix its bite 

[Cobra]
