Blohm und Voss P.209.02 - Forward swept wing fighter

[Mig88]

Here is another Luft 46 project I built back in 2014. It's a Blohm und Voss P.209.02 forward swept wing fighter project by Anigrand Craftswork in 1:144 and in resin.

I added some belts in the cockpit, thinned the undercarriage bay doors as much as possible and split them according to references as opposed to what Anigrand seemed to propose.

The kit was fully painted and varnished by brush.

 

Thanks for looking

Great to see a Luft 46 build on here, congratulations 

 

I wonder how that offset front undercarriage would have worked in practice  ?

There are a number of aircraft that entered production with offset nosewheels. You only use nosewheel steering at low speeds (taxying around, start of T/O roll, end of ldg roll) - rudder authority takes over after that, so no huge impact. Having said that, yes, for a short wheelbase, that does seem a bit excessive!!!!

Simply perfect...
