Blohm & Voss BV 222 "Wiking" was one of the largest flying boats used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. It was intended mainly for long-range transport and sea rescue operations. In Luftwaffe service, the BV 222 was used for supply runs, evacuation of the wounded, and as a reconnaissance aircraft. Examples of this aircraft participated in missions over the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, playing a significant role in supplying German forces in North Africa and France.

The Eduard 72416 photo-etched antenna set allows you to recreate the distinctive radio system of the BV 222 – including frame, rod, and small elements that are hard to scratch-build. The supplied details are not only faithful to the originals but also very easy to assemble, provided you take special care and precision when handling and attaching these fine metal parts.

We recommend this product both to experienced modelers and intermediate enthusiasts who want to bring their model up to a competition standard. We rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5. Using photo-etched additions not only increases the realism of your model but also makes it stand out among other BV 222 models on exhibitions or in private collections.
