1:32 Arado Ar 196A-3
Posted by Luis F Diaz on Thursday, October 18, 2018 11:28 PM

hello all! my name is Luis, I am a 23 year old machinist from Los Angeles. I was cleaning my closet 2 days ago and my nephew spotted an old B-25j kit I never finished from years ago. He asked me if I coud build it for him and so I did. I loved building it so much that I decided to get back into the hobby! I came across this Arado kit and for 20 dollars it seemed like a no brainer! anyways I started the cockpit assembly this morning and just put down the engine. Here is my progress on the kit! keep in mind I'm rusty and this is my first 1:32nd scale kit! enjoy!

 

this is the b-25 I built for my nephew, I decided to convert it into a PBJ 1H

front view of the cockpitI really love how the gunners area came out!I used a red and brown pastel to simulate rust on some of the engine partsback of the engine, I might re do the exhausttodays work!

 

I used oil paints on some of the parts to achiee the weathering, I really like it so far! I didnt want to spend a bunch of money on weathering powders so I used some old pastels I had laying around.
