Background

The Blohm & Voss BV222 is a milestone in the history of aviation. Originally developed for Lufthansa's civil aviation, it was used by the German Air Force after the beginning of World War II. With a wingspan of an impressive 46 meters and a range of 7,000 km, it was predestined for long-distance operations. Their missions included transporting troops and goods over long distances, often in the most difficult conditions. In total, only 13 examples of this giant were built, none of which have stood the test of time. But with this model, you can bring the impressive history of the BV222 back to life.
