Blohm & Voss BV213A-1

[zenrat]

Blohm & Voss BV213A-1 operated by Hydra in early '46.
Asymmetric fighter and ground attack aircraft rushed into production based on the P.194 prototype.  Serious design flaws (unrelated to the unconventional layout) and engine unreliability led to crews despising it.

The Model
Special Hobby Blohm & Voss P.194.  Piston engine cowling from Revell FW-200 (the old mould with the "working" features).  Prop, cooling fan and front of cowling from Airfix FW-190A-8.

  I love this unconventional asymmetric model, thanks for having chosen such a subject, and having invented one more derivative in this family!

Nice batch of builds, Fred! Like 'em all!

It seems this "Bv-213A" has no relation at all with the Bv P.213 (symmetric little jetplane)
according to Luft46 website http://www.luft46.com/bv/bvp213.html

And I have seen there is a Bv-213Z, twin-boom! Thanks!

Dear zenrat,
For a long time, I was thinking your incredible skills were above human like of a half god.
But now I understand all, seeing your hand on the photograph below (holding the Bv213Z with 6 fingers or more in a single hand): you are an extraterrestrial alien. But, as you come as a friendly what-if modeler, not an invader/slaver, I tell you smilingly "welcome on this planet!"
