Blohm & Voss BV222 "Wiking"

Erik Leijdens
Started a big kit! This one is laying around in the stash for a while now. Looks like a nice kit, will be oob. Kept the cockpit simple as it will hardly be visible.

Jennifer Franklin
I love your cat!

That black needs a little touch up on the chest area. Otherwise, beautiful finish.

Gary Victory
Nice start Erik. Loving the furry supervision.

Nice start so far! I have the kit in the stash and was looking at it the other day thinking I might start it in the new year.

Love your project manager too! He looks very serious!

I had no idea such a seaplane existed. How did I miss this?

Great start Erik!

Marius
Erik, good to see in the first picture you have expert advice for this project.

Jan Peters
Not my cup of tea, but very interesting to see how you tackle this huge plane.
And being a cat lover myself, its always fun to see Kitty inspect your proceedings 🐈‍⬛

J K
Coming along.

Erik Leijdens
The fit of the parts is pretty good on this kit but the halves with the engines do need some work. Also, the parts with the exhausts are moulded in 2 halves but therefore shows a seam which needs to go. This is because of the moulding process I think to create the tiny exhausts.

Jennifer Franklin
The seam sounds frustrating, there is great progress so far.

Erik Leijdens
Dryfitted the wings which fit very good. They only need some support to prevent them from sagging.

Alec K
Man, this project is clipping along! Very nice progress Erik 👍

Erik Leijdens
Thanks Alec, this is a really nice, easy to build kit. A bit of monster due to it's size off course! Also nice to build a kit without any conversions etc, just old school straight from the box.

Cuajete
Well done so far, Erik 👍

J K
Loving this so far 👍

This black cat has a very bad eye. I'm not sure he likes the model. My son's white cat is staying with us temporarily. I keep him away from the models. I think the seaplane runs great. Are there any problems with it?

Michael Kohl
Massive

Erik Leijdens
Thanks mates!
@ Живко, well the kit is quite good fit wise. Only negative thing I can point out at this moment is the engineering of the exhaust parts, they are in 2 pieces which creates a seam that should not be present. This takes a bit of work, times 6 😅

Живко Джаков
I really like big seaplanes. And this one is a "big" temptation.

Landlubber Mike
Coming along really nicely. Looks fantastic!
