The Bv 148, Dr Vogt's 'conventional' version of the Bv 141 - DONE

[buzzbomb]

Really like the way this is evolving with some thought around practicality, form and function

Fred that would bea Junkers Ju288 ya have there.

I've always thought the 288 and 388 were very attractive aircraft. It's the nose glazing that does it for me.

Thanks Phil.  I like the ducted spinners.  I've got a kit of an Arado with them.  Wasn't aware they were used on other aircraft.
I'd like to fit some on something like a Beaufighter or a Yokosuka Ginga.

Defensive armament will be an issue unless you use barbets' on the rear fuselage as any rearward faceing gunner in the crew area has the propellors to shoot at.

Ducted spinners were experimentally fitted to a variety of aircraft, here's three types as examples.

The Fw 190 V1 had a ducted spinner.


They were also fitted to the Fw 187.

A Tempest also received one in combination with an annular radiator.

I've got a Huma Ju 288 kit as well. And very nice it looks, but I'm not sure how to Whiff it yet.

Various people saw the makings of the Bv 148 at the Avon Show today, and the general reaction was 'Spackman, what ARE you on???' 

[The Wooksta!]

The only way I'd whiff a Ju 288 would be build it straight in in service markings. And then roundels and Air Min numbers.  Others may wish to use other captured markings.

I'm not sure what is under that canopy but it's not a cockpit!
Makes me think of some sort of moon buggy.

If ya look at the bottom pic ..in the upper part there looks like a kitchen unit with sink and if you look in front of that there looks like a hand rail connected to what looks like a upper deck .
There's something seriously wrong with this as there is nit that much room in a 388s cockpit..the front is wide enough for one dude to sit and as
for bedding forget about that.
It's possible that this was designed for 6in tall ppl.
