Folded Wing Ardo 196-B
Posted by Tcoat on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 9:06 AM

 After seeing DRUMS01 post his beautiful Italian scheme Ardo I figured I would jump on the bandwagon!

This is a really, really nice kit! I found it on clearance at a local shop. It had sat on their shelf for a while and they pretty much gave it to me. I bought it to work on at the cottage where I have only limited supplies and tools. Built all the subassemblies then it sat unpainted in the box for a couple of years since I also had no place to display it. Got new shelves just before Christmas so figured it was time to pull it out, throw some paint on it, and get it on display. Thank goodness the wings fold though or even the new shelf wouldn't have cut it!

It is done in the prototype basic paint scheme with just simple weathering.

That's nice! I like the wingfold on this. Very sharp modeling.

Looks great.  The wing fold and open cowl are really nice eye candy.

Thanks,

John

Ive kept my eye out for one of these but these secondary market price is sky high. 

 

I don't think I ever saw one anyplace else so would guess it was a relatively low production issue. 

Was going to say I have seen the two float A version lots of times but looking up prices it appears it costs just as much! They look to start at about $150 (Canadian) and the sky is the limit from there.

I got in about 2018 for $12.
