Blohm and Voss BV222 Revell 1/72 scale
« on: May 13, 2026, 03:36:11 AM »
I occasionally circle back to finish a model started years ago.  In this case, it's the Revell 1/72 Blohm and Voss BV222, a transport plane from WW2.  This is the largest model I have - at more than 25" (640 mm) wingspan, it's a monster aircraft.  I have depicted the V1 plane as it was during its initial trials, unarmed and with the CC+EQ markings ( the kit is for the armed V2 plane).  This is a simple kit, but due to it's size, it's impressive.  I also built the CMK dockwagen as I needed a way to display it aside from setting it on its bottom.







Thanks for looking in!

That is a monster of a model, but very impressive. Do you have an Me 323 to go alongside it?
