Pour embeter Tophe (to annoy Tophe): BV 282 Finished

[loupgarou]

Sorry, Tophe, mon cheri. C'est une plaisanterie, je ne veux absolument pas te facher.
I had this idea for a looong time, but this time I HAD to do it (or at least to start  )
What more recce than a BV 141 ? So I decided to double it:
Let start the symmetrization. It's curious that I have two very different colours from different age boxes.


After a few cuts, that is how the parts will/should go together:


And, as I am using the short wings, I am managing to annoy Kit, too.   
(actually,  I  HAD to do this, in order to avoid sacrifying 3 kits to build one plane)

Ni-ice!

[Dizzyfugu]

Cool.

[tigercat]

Nice 

[Tophe]

Good! not asymmetric anymore but twin-boom which is nice also!
I presented Glenn's one in one of my book years ago, I think he was the first to create that (and I survived)

[Tophe]

I checked my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/index2.htm
and there was first the Bv-141Z of Igor (Unicraft creator) in my book "supplement to Forked Ghosts" then the one of Glenn (our member here) in my book "the end of Forked Ghosts".
Your third one will be welcome!

And, as I am using the short wings, I am managing to annoy Kit, too.   

Tut, tut!

I have gathered what I drew years ago anout this subject. This is not annoying me but like a celebration of our common delirium

Years later, I drew these ones :

I will draw another one today.

Now here's an interesting concept 

[loupgarou]

Tophe, I see my idea is not very new! 
You have already drawn a lot of even more obstreperous concepts, very interesting.
Should you want to build physically your latest drawing, I have a crew nacelle left over.

[Tophe]

Good! In one way or another, do as you prefer, having this in plastic 3D is a great victory over Real World anyway

I managed to complete another build! 
The BV 282 is ready. I could say a "straight from the box" build, as, apart from mixing parts from 2 kits, I haven't modified or super-detailed anything, and didn't need heavy surgery.
As source for the colour scheme I used Flugzeug Classic Special 11, enlarged a 3-view plan to full size,and cut it over a sheet of adhesive film to create masks.


The most difficult part was the greenhouse, I had bought (first time in my life) a set of Eduard masks but just positioning the hundred or so SMALL bits of foil was nerve wracking  .  And the result was not perfect anyway... I use Vallejo Air paints, in this case their RLM 65,70 and 71 for a very classic schema.







THE STORY:
The BV 141 was not well received by flying crew, they were distrustful of the unusual asymmetric configuration,and also complained it was under powered.
Blohm und Voss, to avoid losing a juicy Luftwaffe contract,and having already started production, and stocked the necessary engines, sought a quick solution, usingasmuchexistingcompnents as possible. The RLM accepted grumbling and the production contract was switched to the new model.
But pilots then started complaining that the visibility was much reduced compared to the BV 141...
Pilots are like women: impossible to please! 

p.s. I don't consider this a Zwilling. IMO Zwilling have  TWO fuselages joined by a common wing, this is a different proposition.
