Luft 46 Models: BMW kit list
|
The Blohm & Voss
corporation
was a well established and successful aircraft manufacturer in Germany
long before the war started. They produced a very successful line
of seaplanes, some of which were among the largest aircraft ever
produced up to that point. Taking a rather large step away from
its seaplane business, B&V also began designing aircraft for the
Luftwaffe and it did so with a rather flagrant disregard for
conventional design layout principles. That it also did so
following utterly sound aerodynamic principles was initially not
noted. It's primary success in this field was the BV 141
observation plane. Even today its asymmetric layout is one of the
few which have ever successfully taken to the air. Blohm &
Voss also designed a seemingly endless stream of very unique (if not
oddball) advanced concept jet and rocket powered aircraft. As
such, the firm's designs are well represented in the Luft 46 kit world.
