Roland SachsenhoferI started with Revells Arado for another round: this time I aim to get a representation of a civil floatplane, used in Sweden in the mid 40´s. Decals are from "Topdrawing 14", I trustfully hope they will work as good as they are looking...
You can see three building steps, next will see the decals fixed and the cowling painted blue. I am quite pleased with that subject -and looking forward to finsh that nice looking floatplane in the very near future 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferI am pleased you are interested! As soon as I got to know about that version I had to have that Kagero decals...
Look at that site (in German language) to get a very informative "biography" of that special Arado. It´s an article from "Flugzeug Classics" illustrated with rare pictures of the late SE-AWY.

Roland SachsenhoferYesterday I got the decals applied, the parts of Kagero/ Cartograph proved to be of excellent quality and have been a pleasure to use.
Thank you mates!

Gordon SørensenI really like the variation in the silver, and thanks for showing how you did it! The engine looks great too!

Roland SachsenhoferThe Swedish Arado got finished wirhout any further troubles; I did a decent and, as I hope, adequate amount of "wear and tear" similar to the condition shown in the few pictures of the real thing.
That was a rather dense build; enabled by the excellent and innovative Revell moldings and the trouble-free Cartograph decals. Anyway, for me it will be the last Arado floatplane for a while... 🙂

Wim van der Luijta very good looking threesome. This latest one turned out very good, I really like the tonal variation in the silver of the airframe

Christian BruerWell now you should be able to build them without using a construction manual😉 Great stuff mate, very nice!

Roland SachsenhoferMichel, Christian, I recommend to everyone that fine Revell kit- even if the inovative canopy construction is a little bit of an unresolved problem to me. Your comment makes me quite proud, thank you both!

Stefan FraundorferUnd wieder eine erstklassige Arbeit von Dir - gratuliere! Kannst Du mittlerweile eine Arado 196 blind zusammen bauen? So wie wir es damals beim Bundesheer gelernt haben, ein Sturmgewehr blind zu zerlegen und wieder zusammen zu setzen.

Jenseine edle , vollkommene , überwältigende Ansicht der Versionen und Exoten die man aus der Revell Arado machen kann , einfach nur Klasse 👍

Roland SachsenhoferHallo,
Stefan, vielen Dank! Naja, ich vermute einmal, dass der blinde Zusammenbau mit der Arado derzeit besser funktioniert wie mit dem StG 77... 🙂
Jens, beeindruckendes Worte die mich sehr motivieren- danke!

Fab FantinGreat job and very nice detailing work as beeing a land surveyor i would say the map on radio navigator station is 100% accurate !

Roland SachsenhoferThank you mates!
Fab, you are right 🙂 Have you seen the set square on the navigators table- and the divider? Revell has definitly a sense humour 🙂

Fab FantinYes Roland i saw it this is amazing and the level contour lines on the map also killing me ! Next time i will try to find this map series hoping these are not out of date 😄
