Great job on a really strange looking aircraft.

I second what others have said regarding your fine work on the glass/masking as well as your painting.

Nice finish and especially well done masking on the canopy. Did you realize Hobby Boss made the propeller turn backwards though?

Nice job Grant, 

That greenhouse is really amazing - super clean !  & makes the cockpit detail easy to see.

. . .  Makes one wonder if they ever made a BV-141b - with the engine on the starboard side ?  Confused

Cracking job on that. The splinter pattern is really well done and nice subtle weathering. Special Hobby have one of these due out in 72nd and i will be grabbing on of those.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Beautiful work there, looks spot on.  That is a goofy looking plane, isn't it?

That's a real nice model, Grant.  I really like the finish.  And the glass work.

An exceptional job, everything is just first rate. The camo is perfectly done, I can only imagine the time spent masking the clear bits.

Thanks for the post and photos.

Hey Grant, Wow! I'd forgotten about that weird machine. The Germans did come up with some wild stuff (some good and some hmm.) and that's certainly one of them. 

Really nice job on that critter, you certainly did it justice! Good work!

PS--I wonder if they made left hand versions,LOL!

Beautiful paint job. I just finished one of these myself. I found it to be an incredibly easy build and quite a joy to make. Your camouflage looks great!

Really enjoyed this one. This bizarre aircraft has fascinated me since I was a young child. An easy build OOB, no dramas with the kit. The longest part of the build was probably masking up the canopy which I did with Tamiya tape.

Painted with Gunze, Tamiya, Italeri and Vallejo paints. Flory dark dirt wash and Vallejo matte varnish.
