They made some weird stuff at B&V, they do crop up from time to time - Zoe had some good data on them:

Sapiens qui vigilat... "He is wise who watches"
I was given the BV 141 kit by Airfix as a child - I wouldn't build it, because I was convinced not all the parts were there!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Indeed, a strange bird. And because it was such an unusual design, widely panned: crops up on almost every "weird aircraft" reference that I've seen. It never actually got into full production, due to competition from better-marketed designs (ex: the W-189, which strongly resembled the US P-38, although it, like the BV-141 was a reconnaissance design, and not a fighter/interceptor), and also problems with the availability of the engine (same one as the FW-190, and naturally, the production was reserved mostly for the latter.)
