About product

Blohm & Voss BV 40 in 1:72 scale (Brengun)

This small injection-molded plastic kit with photo-etched parts and a clear canopy captures the German BV 40 glider fighter of the end of the Second World War. The package contains plastic parts, a photo-etched fret and decals. It is a small model with a low part count.

The real subject

The Blohm & Voss BV 40 was an unusual attempt at a simple unpowered glider fighter. It was to be towed by a fighter to a height above a formation of Allied bombers, from where the pilot would try to hit the enemy in a diving attack and then land in a glide. Its first flight took place in 1944, but the machine never reached combat and the project was canceled.

Building and painting tips

Thanks to the low part count it is a fairly quick build; glue the plastic with liquid cement and the photo-etched parts with super glue. The small clear canopy is best masked and painted carefully. Apply a primer before painting.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German prototypes and paper projects
  • Modelers who will appreciate a quick build in a small scale
  • Lovers of unconventional designs

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
