Everything about this works, it is paper project real, dug out of some forgotten archive.

Really like this

[Rick Lowe]

Nicely done!

Good job Kit.

I must say, it is an impressive build, Kit.  Nearly as big as a Medium Bomber.

I must say, it is an impressive build, Kit.  Nearly as big as a Medium Bomber.

I was surprised it came out so big myself, but that's because of an over-application of Kit's 1st Rule I suspect.   

I just used up all of the bits of two Bv 141 kits that I had, and then the fuselage had to be longer just to balance out the look of the thing.

It's good but I suspect that it would be underpowered for the size.  The later Bv 148B with the Jumo 222E was better, but only flew as prototypes.

With 1700 bhp?

Of course the B's had a much fatter fuselage to take that monster of an engine. Hmmm, I've got a couple of them in a Huma Ju 288 kit, but I've not got enough Bv 141s left at the mo. 

[The Wooksta!]

The 2500hp Jumo 222 would just about fit in the fuselage as it wasn't much bigger than a 213. The Ju 288C had the DB 610, which being two DB605s welded together is much wider.

Impressive beast!

And the view from the cockpit at ground must have been great, too! 

Reminds me that I must do a cockpit-in-front-of-a-prop whif someday, too.

Amazing build! Absoluty bonkers. That double prop is a very nice feature like that cockpit.

Congrats on finishing this project must have been a hairy one.
