Catapulted Arado Ar-196
Original seat vs Aires resin + PE seat
Aires cockpit
Some putty is required to fit correctly the windshield
ready for paint process
A coat of white primer first
some pre-shading
RLM72 with some post-shading
Some maskol is applied randomly than some highly diluted darker tones
I repeat the process with some lighter tones
the result is pretty realistic though we cannot see it very much on the photo
My favorite moment when building a kit : weathering
The engine is set and exhaust fume done
I tried to replicate some salt and rust effects on the floaters using AK Interactive products

Steve DesarzensCockpit is now finished. Always a little bit tricky to get all those Aires resin parts inside the two half of the fuselage, but after many dry test fits, it finally ok.

Steve DesarzensI used some old Aeromaster paints that I had. I started by a pre shading with RLM 66 and then a coat of RLM 02.

Ben STONEGreat cockpit. I'm loving float planes at the moment especially the ones from the 20's and 30's, beautiful.

Steve DesarzensThe Arado is almost done. Now I will switch to the HPH catapult.

Steve DesarzensThanks you guys, it was not so easy to adjust the airplane on the catapult. You have to be very precise
