Arado Ar 234C-3 Blitz, Bomber & reconnaissance plane
III./EKG 1 (KG 76), Alt Lönnewitz (Brandenburg), Germany, March - May 1945
Here she is and I'm quite happy with it. It was a true joy to build.
The aircraft portrays one of the three C-3's that were delivered to III. Gruppe des Einsatzkampfgeschwaders 1 ( III./EKG 1, part of KG 76) on 27th of March 1945. It was blown up by the Germans, just before Americans overran the place in May.
I didn't apply the splinter-scheme suggested by Revell, not the Dragon one, but based it on the scheme in the marvellous book "Luftwaffe Colours 1935-1945" van Michael Ullman (Otringham, UK, 2002, p. 137).
Unfortunately, the swastika decal from Xtradecal fell apart when I took it from the water.
Cheers,
Jan
