Thanks to Kevin Brant for spotting an announcement from Hobby Boss that should delight Luftwaffe fans. Due for release soon in 1:48 is the weird and wonderful Blohm & Voss BV 141.
The asymmetrical reconnaissance aircraft was built in limited numbers and proved perfectly practical, despite its unusual appearance. Ultimately its undoing was the urgent requirement for its BMW 801 engine in other aircraft, coupled with the success of its well-known rival - the Fw 189 Uhu.

Previously available only as a limited run model in 1:48, Hobby Boss have taken the bold move to produce it as a mainstream kit.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

Thank you Hobby Boss! That's a must-have for me. I've been fascinated by the Bv 141 since I was a kid and "discovered" it in one of William Green's Warplanes of the Second World War books. Eric
