BV 141
Lots of small detailed parts in the cockpit. I’m going to enjoy this.
Front part. The rails next the pilot seat are for sliding seat, handy.
Magazines for the MG 15s ready
Starting the side instrument panel. 3 meters had to be glued in the panel. And a tiny handle. Very detailed and delicate work.
Half way
Pilot’s space ready. Seat belts/harnesses would have been great.
From different side
There are 3 separate instrument panels. One is at the canopy.
From front
Radist/navigator/spotter’s office, the stool is on the rails.
Rear gunners post.
tail cone with masks coming on
Masks done. Lots of masking to do.
Marchine gun inside the cone. I wonder how it was used in real life,..? Because Now, it is concealed.
So much clear plastic!
Last look inside
Gunners position
Pilots seat
Very good visibilty
Instruments on the ceiling
Base coat
Then aluminium at the parts where I plan to do chipping
RLM02 done, chipping done and starting to put some exhaust residue and also some oil stains
Forgot to weather the propeller
Underside
Landing gear
The bomb racks should have been put AFTER decals
Semi gloss varnish on
Removing the mask. I’m bit worried about the many layers of paint and thin frames. How badly paint will stick to the mask.
It was a bit of an issue. Need to fix frames from some parts
Rear mg installed
Turret mg at place and hatches opened. Again problem with thick paint layers. And slippery clear pieces

Robert PodkońskiWatching with interest (I read somewhere that the propeller in this very kit is made in such a way that it turns in the wrong direction...)
