Arado

Holger Kranich
The fact, that you build this kit, show´s me that you obviously love to suffer! But i´m convinced you´ll make something nice out of it!

Zimmermaniac
yeah Holger, my middle name is SM 🙂

Holger Kranich
Haha!
What markings are you going to apply? Yellow cowling?

Zimmermaniac
no, splinter camo all over - red/yellow spinner - gonna do aircraft that flew from Bismarck

Holger Kranich
Have you got yourself a replacementdecalsheet?

Zimmermaniac
the option is included in the kit

Holger Kranich
Ah, havent seen that in the review! Do you plan to add bombs?

Zimmermaniac
those two awfull cilindric items in the kit ?? yes, I'll have to, otherwise there will be 4 gigantic holes in the win undersides

Holger Kranich
"awfull cilindric items"
Yes, they are very rudimentary molded. Dont you have any replacements? Ah, doesnt matter, some scratchbuild will make it though!😢

Zimmermaniac
besides, this is 1/72 - fu..ng tiny for my big hands

Holger Kranich
Have the same problem with my StuG IV. Small parts and big fingers is a bad mixture😢

Christian Lehmann
Did not everybody of us start with 1/72? 🙂

Holger Kranich
Cant speak for the rest, but i started with braille scale.🙂

Christian Lehmann
He?

Holger Kranich
Braille scale= 1:72

Christian Lehmann
Hie sagt Loddar immer:" Again what lernerd" 🙂

Holger Kranich
Yeah, i think, i spider! Or am i on the woodway?

Christian Lehmann
🙂 o.k. you know him 🙂

Holger Kranich
I dont like this guy, but his english is so funny!

Christian Lehmann
I agree

Zimmermaniac
little progress : camoed, floats mounted, rigging done

Burkhard D
I think you got that wrong, Holger. "Braille scale" is extra big for the blind and ham-fisted = 1/24 😎

Christian Lehmann
Hey Zimi, relaxed rigging compared to that of your sworfdfish

Bill Gilman
Zimmi, you are a brave man to be tackling this kit. And in the "Gentleman's Scale" at that! Rigging looks very nice, can't wait to see it finished! 🙂

Philip De Keyser
You're going fast Zimmy, nice progress and it look great, greetz Phil

Dave Flitton
Awesome build so far.

Holger Kranich
As usual: Great Rigging and build!

Zimmermaniac
received the decals, airfix did a good job, they worked fine with set & sol

Holger Kranich
I feel a bit sorry for the bubbles under the decal of pic 16. But the rest and especially the rigging is absolutely great done, i love it!🙂

Zimmermaniac
bubbles will disappear with one more round of sol

Holger Kranich
Ah its fresh? Ok, then you shall have "the force on your side"😢 and can change it😢!

Zimmermaniac
some wash and a mat cote, few more thingies and it's done

Oliver
Great work! What colors did you use? Are those the sea-colors by the RLM?

Zimmermaniac
approx to 🙂 I used Gunze H78 and H302 on topside - RLM65 underside

Holger Kranich
RLM65 from Gunze? The Arado looks very good, i love the camo, you did!

Holger Kranich
The wash is great!

Zimmermaniac
nothing special though, just some in panellines and around raised details

Holger Kranich
Yeah and it helps to give it "The Look"!

Wilfried Bogaerts
Nice one Zimmy! I especially like the turning propeller!😉

Philip De Keyser
Looks great Zimmy, nice Camo paintjob, greetz Phil

Zimmermaniac
finished

Wilfried Bogaerts
Well done Zimmy! I like this aircraft!

Did you try if it floats? 🙂

Zimmermaniac
I did Willy, and it does 🙂🙂 this was trying if 1/72 would be something for me cause I'm planning to change to that scale for the big ones

Christian Lehmann
Nice build

Holger Kranich
Hey Zimmi, judging from the last pix, you can be proud of your work! Rigging-check, great paintjob-check, nice decalling and finish-check!😉

Zimmermaniac
thnx guys, for being this a "quick" build I'm quite comfortable about it

Dirk Heyer
Hi Zimmy,
did your thread totally overseen! S...! 🙂 Sorry
Well done result for such a horrible kit! I can`t understand your selection. There are so many nice engineered kits on the market and you start an old Airfix kit🙂
You are a brave man.. must be so....
Nonetheless a fine paintjob.
Greetz
