BV P170 Schnellbomber

[SeaPlane]

Hello Everyone

Hope the modelling gods are smiling and that builds are going well

 

Have finally got round to some pictures of the completed 'pod racing bomber' which I hope the group will enjoy, and 'Yes' it is quite large!.

 

Special thanks to Special Hobby for the replacement canopies - in fact two full sets of vac formed prices arrived, giving plenty of opportunity for failure and repair; great service and support from SH on that score.

 

The model is finished with Tamiya rattle cans, Vallejo Model Air and old Humbrol acrylic paints with a covering of Klear to finish it all off.

 

  

 

   

 

Overall the resin went together pretty well - unfortunate cackhandedness in the build notwithstanding - but I could certainly have done better with the topside canopies despite SH's generosity.  Still live and learn and improve next time.

 

For those who were interested in other Luft 46 builds, some shots of the 3 BV models I now have;

 

 

 Thats the trio of P170 (Planet), Ae607 (Unicraft) and P178 (Bronco) completed as a torpedo bomber under Romanian colours

 

   

 

Enjoy - many thanks for all the support, critiques and comments welcome

 

'Til the next time

Regards

Andrew

Good evening Andrew

 

Wonderful job on the BV P170. I hadn't appreciated how big it would turn out when it was finished !

 

Whats next on the build list, Flying Boat or Luft 46 ?

 

Cheers Pat
