adey m Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I recently completed this model and its construction appeared in Aircraft Work In Progress here on Britmodeller. This is what I started with. A challenging but enjoyable build. The only transparency that I replaced was the dorsal turret which came from my spares. I scratchbuilt a flight deck and sanded and polished the kit's glazing. All brush painted in Revell and Humbrol enamels. The kit's decals were superb. BMW badges between the lower engine cylinders Thank you for looking. regards, adey Edited August 7, 2018 by adey m 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 What an amazing looking beast! Very nicely done and something that I've never even heard of never mind seen. The crew figures really bring it to life, especially the guy in the top hatch talking to his oppo on the ladder. Superb stuff Adey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 That's amazing! I have never bought a Mach2 kit, but I know of their reputation for being, well, hard to build (he said, diplomatically). Your build disguises any such issues - and I love the figures too. Brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Wow - not something you see everyday and like others have mentioned, I'm guilty for not even knowing this type ever existed! Once again, superbly modelled, painted, photographed and presented. You really are an artist of the highest repute. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAAMAN Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 As rabbit Leader said . . . . . . . . . "not something you see everyday" . . . . . . . . . had this kit but is now missing along with a "few others". Well done mate, super work all 'round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 That's a very crisp build. Nice pictures as well. You have made the best possible job on a plane only its mother could love! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kay Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Is this another aircraft I need to add to my 1940 obsession? A fabulous build and superb finish. I love the way you pose the figures in natural ways, too. They set the model off brilliantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Great work on a little-known type. And a great result for a Mach II kit! BM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Mr. Adey, congratulations for finishing this kit! It is a very rarely seen model - I have only seen another one finished so far. Despite the kit's low quality (compared to todays standards of tooling) you managed to get an excellent result. I noticed a few inaccuracies on the kit: In my opinion, the ailerons and trim tabs are too wide, while the exhausts should be further aft (3-4mm). The Bv-142 had the same wheel size as H-111, Do-215, Fw-200, or Ju-88A1 - they look slightly oversized on the model. Of course, these issues are made by Mach2 and do not spoil the overall impression! Best greetings from Vienna, Roman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 A great result on a weirdly (almost) elegant looking beastie. I hope they've packed the sauerkraut. It could be a long patrol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 That's lovely looking model of an interesting and little-known aircraft and the figures give it both a sense of scale and add life to the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Another cracking piece produced by Adey What a strange looking aircraft it’s like it’s been designed following a bad phone line conversation with someone describing a number of different planes that they’ve seen and Blohm and Voss thought. “We can build that”. Nice faultless work as alway Adey 👍👍👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
