1971 Airfix 1/72 Blohm und Voss BV.141

[KiwiZac]

Hi all,
This original 1971 boxing of the 141 came in a care package from a forumite early last year. Everything was there aside from the tail strut, decals (a Revell Stuka sheet was in there) and instructions, Scalemates to the rescue for the latter!

Just a bit of fun and it was - no filling, no sanding, the trickiest part was going through my decal spares.

And in case you're wondering about the codes: I did a stint as a radio announcer when I was in my teens and I love Burger King

Looks pretty good for its age, despite rivets galore.

Very asymmetric models are always pleasant to see: weird and that is good, bringing attention from non specialists in the family for instance

Always liked the look of the 141 and that build does it justice

1971?  Gosh I though it came out a couple or three years later.

I built one soon after it was originally released, weird machine, fun build.

Many thanks for taking me back to my early teens!
