upnorth Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Which one is right for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Neither. That aircraft was a Pilatus P.2 http://classicaircraftdisplays.com/en/aircraft/trainer-aerobatics/pilatus-p2-05 It looks like the only scale representation of it was a vac formed kit in 1/72: http://modelingmadness.com/review/korean/attardp2.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It used many parts from German aircraft such as the Arado 96. No wonder I was confused ! Very true, the nose and prop could have come straight off an Ar-96. From some angles, the wings look it too. However, from straight above or below, they lack the slight sweep the Ar-96 wings had.

Paul J Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The undercart of the P.2 also used Me 109 legs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I understand the forward section of canopy and windscreen also came from a 109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) New boxing - ref.SH72325 - Arado Ar 96A "German, Slovak and Hungarian Trainer" Source: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/11/sh72325-arado-ar-96a-german-slovak-and.html We are thrilled to be able to announce yet another version of the famous Luftwaffe training aircraft, the Arado Ar 96A that is due to be available by the end of this year. This early version was powered by Argus As-10 engine and it may be of interest that more than 300 aircraft of this version had been built by the eve of WWII. At first, the Ar 96As were used by the Luftwaffe but as production of the later version, the Ar 96B (two different boxings are available - SH72312 and SH72315) started, the A version trainers were sold to the Slovak Air Force and especially to the Royal Hungarian Air Force. It might seem that the model parts are similar to those of the Ar 96B kit, but that is not the case. The kit is injected into a completely new mould. That is because, compared to the later Ar 96B version, the wings of the Arado Ar 96A were in a different position to the fuselage (the centre of gravity had to be moved because of the heavier and more powerful engine As-410). Our kit contains both propeller types and a tailwheel with and without a fairing. It also includes a decal set for two German planes (one with civil registration), two Hungarian planes (early and late marking and colour schemes) and a Slovak plane. V.P.

Graham Boak Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Excellent. I'm delighted to see an Ar96A. (Edited because I hadn't realised it was one!) Edited November 2, 2015 by Graham Boak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I've been considering (marinating slowly) conversion of a B into an A but now I don't have to bother, and have an excuse for buying another Ar96. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Not sure about the Air Min 120 scheme, phots seem to show a single overall shade (RLM 02?) Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Not 02 - the scheme worn by that is too dark for 02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
