JagRigger Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I started this at least 15 years ago, probably closer to 20. Got as far as starting re-scribing and gave up. Lockdown stash sorting and it re-surfaced. OOB othe than the rescribing and a certain decal. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Love it. Every time I see one of these built I think 'I must get mine out of the stash', and then get distracted by something else. Did you use the canopy mask set or do you have the patience of a saint and masked it yourself? It looks so much better without all those infamous rivets too.

Vesa Jussila Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This is so odd looking plane that I must like it. Even that I am mostly building civil things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Sadly it seems the Special Hobby kit has been cancelled, I'd love to have a BV-141 in my experimental aircraft hangar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I am impressed! A very, very nice job on the old kit. What you have done has really improved the final result. Other than the rivets and overly thick transparencies and detail parts, it really is a good kit. I had started one many years ago, and made vacform replacements for the transparencies, but the vacform plastic was so thin, I never could get the parts cemented in place and filled- compounded by the complex bottom lines. Gave up and binned it for parts. I still have one in the box, and if Special Hobby never gets around to releasing the new-tool kit that they announced several years ago, I might give it another go- your model is a great example of what can be done with a little TLC. (You can take all those rivets you removed and put them on a 1/72 tank!) An Airfix Fw-189 and Hs-126 would be neat companions, and would also require the same cleaning up and work.

I had been hoping they would do one after reading it was going to be a future release. Did they say why? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say why? Mike I just checked Scalemates and it says cancelled - I have no further information. Hoping its just their assumption, I've had it in my Hannants wish list for years.

Tigerausfb Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Good effort. The BV141 always seems to me as if the crew nacelle is going to spin around the 'fuselage'. No idea why they just didn't two boom it and called Fw189...or something. Interesting design anyway and nice to see your model of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
