Blohm Voss BV-40, 1/72 - Brengun BRP72011

The Blohm & Voss BV 40 model from Brengun, reference BRP72011, reproduced in 1/72, depicts the German interceptor glider BV 40. This injection-moulded plastic kit to be assembled includes photo-etched parts and a clear piece.

The Blohm & Voss BV 40 was developed during the Second World War as a non-powered aircraft intended to intercept bomber formations. With its compact dimensions and designed around a protected cockpit, it remained at the prototype stage after its trials in 1944.

This Brengun reference makes it possible to depict this unusual subject from German aviation in a compact scale. The box includes decals offering two prototype schemes.

Assembling a plastic kit requires the usual modeller’s tools: suitable glue, sprue cutters or a precision blade, fine abrasives and paint. The small photo-etched parts should be handled carefully using a fine pair of tweezers or an appropriate bending tool. A primer will then make it easier to paint and prepare the finish.
