Heh, heh, the Bv-215 has legs and they are long ones. The canopy still needs a little bit of fairing in and there is still interior work to be completed on the landing gear bays but she is making progess.
And the Hanomag that will be towing her in the diorama is coming along pretty nicely also.
The shifter and hand brake are made from wire. The driver is converted from a Prieser kit of figures.
The kit does not come with windows so those were all made from some clear bubble card that came with a watch band.
Ah, Swammmy, I seem to remember the “legs” expression going quite a bit differently!
But that is a discussion of a different kind of model.
Nice looking “bird”, great gams!. (pun intended) Heh, heh, heh!!! And for those who don’t get it, you are most likely too young. Cabin fever, Swammy? Or is it the glue? Not to worry mate, spring is just around the corner. rangerj
Those are some LONG struts Swanny!
Too bad if your the only pilot in your squad with vertigo!
Looking good so far.
Is that a conversion set, or are you making a kit???
Superb model. Please keep us posted on future progress. I still like the original meaning of the “legs” expression, but then I am an antique myself.[alien]
I may be young, but I grooved that swing, ya dig? [:D]
Nice work so far Swanny, I look forward to more!

The Betty Grable of Luftwaffe '46 it ain’t, but nice legs nonetheless!
She’s lookin’ groovy…
Fade to Black…
Hey Swanny,
Any idea why the bird was designed with that much clearance?, just curious
Steve
im wondering the same thing as steve, he just beat me to posting the question. and whats the original legs expression ? great looking bird [:)]
Looking good, Swanny!
And now I remember what a Bv-215 is!
That’s not landing gear or legs !! Looks like it’s on STILTS. Nice work as usual.
Regards, Rick
When young “gentlemen” of a bygone era saw a member of the opposite gender with exceptionally long or curvacious “landing gear”, I believe the appropriate expression was, “Her legs go all the way from the ground to her _ _ _ _ _ _ _!” Somewhat less vulgar than many expressions heard in public these days. [alien]
Hey, that’s a great set of legs! Great work-
Ooh, it’s about a plane…
Still, very nice bird you’ve got there Swanny, but than again, how got it not have been a very nice bird, coming from you.

Hi ya Swanny …
Great looking a/c there Swanny … you should have a very small stencil inside the cockpit … just below the canopy sill … "watch first step out … she’s a long one! " [swg]
