  1. Here is one of the kits I have completed this year. It's Mark I's 1:144 Arado Ar 96B-1 White 16 (KK+CW), W.Nr. 0122, of JFS 3, Luftwaffe, at Stolp-Reitz airfield, Germany, in autumn 1940. I added belts from tape and sticks from stretched sprue in the cockpit. There were issues with the wing/fuselage join which needed some work to get a decent join, and the exhausts which are unclear in their positioning and stick out too much if glued as suggested. I solved the latter by opening holes in the dimples on the engine cover where you are supposed to glue them, to insert them into and thus get them in a better position. I also added the underwing pitot tube. The big flaw of this kit is the propeller spinner which lacks the "orange-squeezer" tip. Retrokit have made a resin replacement propeller that is a big improvement and I have used it in this kit. The other thing to watch out for is getting the angle of the main undercarriage legs right as the instructions are unclear here too and they are supposed to be raked forward in a fashion similar to the Fw 190. Otherwise it was an enjoyable little kit and I have built another (to be posted later) and have several in my stash. The kit was completely painted by brush. Weathering was minimal as these were trainers and not combat machines and were better kept. Thanks for looking Miguel
  2. Here is another of the kits I have completed this year and the other Mark I 1:144 Arado Ar 96B I had mentioned before in a previous post. It's an Ar 96B-7 AIR MIN 120 of No.435 Disarmament Servicing and Repair Unit, RAF, in Schleswig, Germany, late 1945. This aircraft eventually wound up in the UK where it was eventually scrapped. As with the other one, I added belts from tape and sticks from stretched sprue in the cockpit, the underwing pitot tube and replaced the propeller with a resin one from Retrokit. Notes on the other one apply here The kit was completely painted by brush. This aircraft remained in Luftwaffe colours but had the German markings overpainted and British ones applied instead. Weathering was minimal as these were trainers and not combat machines and were better kept. Thanks for looking Miguel
  3. Good day, folks! Let me present you my next model. It's made just from box. Coloured by Tamiya with receipts.
  4. Built for the obsolete group build. Airwaves PE cockpit set, Kora decals, Kora resin wheels, rescribed & scratch built exhausts. Build thread
  5. Found this little gem on eBay just before Christmas and I'm really looking forward to this build. I'm going to be engraving the panel lines and I have a nice set of resin wheels that came with the decals to replace the very bland kit parts. The decal choice was born of necessity as the kit decals have yellowed, they are far worse than the photo suggests. There were a few decal choices out there but for some reason these caught my eye. When I did a bit of research I found the Bulgarian Air Force (One of the worlds oldest, being established in 1906!) flew 24 of the AR 96 from May 1940 and the markings in the decal set were used from 1938 - early 1941. So the aircraft would have only worn the markings for approximately 12 months, which in my mind makes it unusual and a little bit special. The only down side of this is that in 6 weeks of looking through hundreds of internet pages I've yet to find a single photo of an AR 96 in these markings. It's not that I need it but it would be nice to see. I'm going to be in new territory with the Airwaves set as I've only ever dealt with buckles, small hand wheels and levers before so it should be an interesting baptism into a full PE cockpit.
