Finished Revell Arado 196 (1/32)
Posted by cnq on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 4:14 PM

Hi guys,

Just finished this one. It took me about two months to complete it. It was built out of box. Hope you like the pics Smile

Really crisp details & subtle painting, and the photos do it justice. Thanks for posting and Happy Holidays!

That is a very good looking model.Beer  ROG has done a great job with this kit, the details are just fantastic spacially the radial engine which is a kit in itself.

I built one back in 2012 and did it with the wings folded. It saves a ton of display space.

Wow! That's such a clean build! Great work with the details. I have the Tamiya 1/48 kit and when I get to it these pictures will be my inspiration.

Just when you think your build order is all laid out... then you see a nice build like this and you say to yourself, "I got that in the stash! Now I wanna build it!" Well done.

Excellent work. Cockpit detail is stunning. It's nice to see something other than an Me 109....truly impressive.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Fantastic looking build! Love the nice clean look on this one. How did you find the kit to build up? I have heard the canopy has some problems with being able to see the reinforcements where you glue the pieces together?

Thanks Jester75. It's a good kit with most of the parts fitting very well except when matching the wings to fuselage that it has a gap that needs to fill up. The canopy glass comes in pieces and that's true it's a pain to glue them up and you can see the joints where they come together. There is custom canopy you could get to avoid this issue though. I'm cheapo and usually build everything out of box to keep cost down.

I had forgotten about the multi part canopy that's a PITA to assemble. It takes a lot of fitting and patience. I used Testors clear parts cement to assemble the puzzle. The clarity is very good too.

If an aircraft can be "beautiful" the Arado 196 fills that niche nicely.

What a well done kit an inspiration!!!

We have 1/72 1/48 and the 1/32 my son LOVES float planes.

 

Can't wait to build these!!!

Thanks very much for your comments guys. I've been thinking about my next build Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish if I could find it at a decent price online as my local hobby store does not carry it in stock any more.
