RFI "War Orphan" Sword 1/72 Arado Ar 196

[PanzerWomble]

After the RAF turned Tirpitz into a submarine , the ship's aircraft and other 196s were run to death as hacks, finally mostly being grounded for lack of spares . After cursory examination by the Norwegians after the war , considered obsolete and worn out , they were towed out in Trondheim Fjord and sunk in Sept 45. Ones still there 55m down . 

This was just a paint mule to try out odourless thinner chipping with Atom paints in all honesty , as I hate braille scale . The kit is ...so so for the size, probably not much better than the ancient Airflups thing .

Looks like your experiment with the chipping was successful, very nice finish

That looks good Guy and the weathering is not overdone I have definitely done worse in larger scales.

I figured you be out cruise'in the country side on the bike this time of year?

Good to see you in the forum I need someone to wack a spoon on the head from time to time.
