JaseGill Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi all, I'm back. After the Spitfire I figured I should follow it up. So here is my Arado 196, built just after the Spitfire and if anything I enjoyed this more than the Spitfire. I just love the 196 and wish I could afford, or had the skill to scratch, the launch rail for it. Anyway, its all out of the box except for Eduard straps, instrument panel and some after market seats. I made loops from small diameter wire for the rigging on the floats and rigged it with even skinnier wire. As before hope you enjoy and look forward to constructive criticism. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks good, Jase! Maybe an idea to buy the resin Hph-kit of the rail? http://www.hphmodels.cz/index.php/en/shop-2/produkty-hph-models/modely-v-meritku-1-32/catapult-arado-ar-196-in-scale-1-32-detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseGill Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I did think about the rail.Maybe when I'm a little less cash strapped I will get it.Glad you like. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Great job, I've got one on my "to do" list, hope it turns out as nice as yours Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseGill Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks Spitfire. Its a great kit. I loved it. Worth some simple enhancements, I think I put a bit of Eduard in the cockpit but otherwise all there. Loved every minute of it and would do another anytime if there werent so many other lovely kits around to do.So many kits, so little time. J.
