Been moving along with the Arado this week. despite the size and the nice detail, tehre is not a lot to this kit. In total, 3 sprues, and two of those contain the main body and tail sections.
And this is the only real negative, the sprue gates, especially on the leading edge.
Thats not pretty by anyones standards. And i am not keen on the contro, surfaces, but this is not really a defect, just a differance of opinion.
But enough of that, after priming, the cockpit parts got a coat of RLM 66.
I then did a light dry brush and added a pin wash with Flory wash. next up was starting to paint some of the detail. I have also cut a slot into each seat betwen the cushion and headrest for the PE seat belts.
That dial on the left definatly neds to be re done. I can paint some more once my instrument decals arrive from Canada.
The landing gear has been painted and i have added some black wire for brake lines to the main gear.
And the wheel wells and bomb bay are also painted and ready.
So now i am waiting those decals and the putty, all i can do on the aircrfat is paint the wheels and finish off the seams on the engines. In the menatime, i can start on a couple of the vehicles i will be adding. I am still waiting on the one fom Kora, but i will also be adding these two to the dio.
And thats all for now.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
