Description
The BV141 was designed as an army co-operation aircraft - a role already succesfully carried out by the FW189.Only about 10 machines were built and none entered squadron service.

Wow ! That was an assymetric beast. Nicely done, as always.
Always very good presentation ! I like always your work !
Interesting to see such a rare type, and the 3 view makes a change.I am putting up some of my air photos over the next few days.
Actually . . . three prototypes, five A-0, ten B-0 and ten B-1. Originally it had a symetrical stabilizer but that was offset to allow a better field of fire for the gunner. A single-engined plane with visibilty better than either a single or multi. It's great seeing it get some press -- woohoo.
nicely done! a-syms are my favorite type of oddball aircraft. and the germans had the high ground when it came to oddballs that worked.
Excellent work again!! I've seen these planes before, but didn't know that only ten were build and that none entered squadron service. So RR is also about learning!! Thanks for sharing.
It should be a nightmare to fly.
very fine work. this one just had to be a 3-view ! one wonders if B+V had already seen the FW189 layout, decided they could not better it, and entered this in the competition as a bit of a joke....thus proving that Germans DO have a sense of humour ?
As a kid I acquired one of them - on paper. Maybe some day I'll post it for the laugh. It obviously ingrigued me even then. The Germans were ever-inventive. It's an excellent choice for the three views.
Built an Airfix kit of the same type years and years ago.Excellent work! :B eaver !
Great work here. So clean and crisp! Looks like a monster of a machine. Nice job.
i remember reading obout this one some years ago. its unorthadox design brought out the skeptics but in the end it performed better than the designers thought it would as i recall.
great picture love the 3 way too, I remember seeing this as a airfix modeling kit in the toy shop and thinking surely this cant be true, this is a made up one lol. LAter i saw many more odd designs were made, well a cat in thight corners makes strange jumps. here some good ref mat: http://www.luftarchiv.de/
