Swanny Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Was stalled for a little while until I could settle on a camouflage scheme for the Bv-215 but finally found what I wanted. Then it was a matter of materials, this particular effort required two boxes of Stick-to-it to lay out the pattern, The model was coated with a medium gray before the pattern was laid then shot with RLM63 then the adhesive was removed. Still have quite a bit of work to do. So, what do you think so far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D_IcarUS_ Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Impressive Swanny as usual. Great job!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wing_Nut Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I like the Blu-Tac look Great soft edges. I'm not familiar with the Bv-215 (real or kit). What kit is this? What air force does this belong to? It's wicked looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swanny Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 This is a Luftwaffe 1946 project. It was under development on paper in January 1945. It was related to the Bv-212 which was under mock-up at the end of the war. The kit is an all resin job from Fliegerhorst out of Germany. There is a link to their site on my website under the links heading. There is also a full kit review on my site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul T Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hi Swanny, Great look on the `46 jet.

The_Animal Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The only thing I can say on this, Matt, is W-O-W! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 That is some funky and innovative use of blu-tak, Matt! Leave it to you. Looks great! :wacko: J.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swanny Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Paul, I do have a 234c just haven't had time to do the review yet. The fliegerhorst Bv-215 is a very good kit for a cottage industry production. Overall parts fit is good but the kit lacks lots of interior detail itmes. I scratch built most of the interior items and there are no decals. Some work and a good spares box will produce an exceptional model. I finished all assembly on this today and the Future is drying down while I sort through the decal box looking for appropriate items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
