Blom & Voss BV P 194

This is the Blom & Voss BV P 194 in 1/72 scale by Revell. I’m fascinated by the unique designs that BV came up with for the Luftwaffe during World War II. This is just one of several asymmetrical designs, powered by both, one radial engine and one jet engine. It never went into production, so I had plenty of artistic license on this model. I fashioned a MK412 55mm cannon, and, because the BV P 194 would have been primarily a ground attack aircraft, I applied decals associated with a Stuka unit, Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 'Immelmann' Sch.G 2. My guess is that in production, it would have replaced the Stuka. The scale model itself is a joy to build; good fitting parts.
