Thomas V. Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 As already mentioned Revell is to release new boxing of Ar 196 in 1/32 in February 2015..it is interesting to see announced subtype RoG plans to release..." B" as there where only three B-O aircraft built, featuring single cental float. Most likely that its a case of lapsus calami so which subtype will they release A-0/1/2 or A-5........

fightersweep Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Actually, I quite like the single float version, although markings options will be limited! I must admit, that I like the idea of converting one to a land based wiffer version!... Regards;Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Tom But which bit was a slip ? It's supposed to be a 'B-1, but is that an Arado 96B-1 (Avia C-2) or 196B-1 ? Tony edited to correct auto spell, ironically !

Homebee Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Arado Ar196B-1 (expected february 2015) - ref.04922 Die drei Maschinen der B-0-Serie mit den Werknummern 2519, 2520 und 2521 hatten einen einzelnen Zentralschwimmer mit Stabilisierungsschwimmern unter den Tragflächen. Ihre Ausstattung entsprach ansonsten der A-2. Die Truppenerprobung erfolgte von 1940 bis 1941.[9] Die drei Maschinen flogen anschließend bei der Bordfliegerstaffel 1./196 in Wilhelmshaven.

Albeback52 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Price including taxes works out at a shade under £25. A bargain.. I did not know that a version with a single main float was built. THis unusual subject guarantees at least one sale!! I have no doubt there will be a lot of modellers bemoaning the choice of subject version due to "limited appeal"- largely because it never entered service..Personally, I rather like these off-beat subjects so, mine will be painted in proper operational markings..Another inspired choice by Revell.

ABeck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 ....largely because it never entered service...... Two single float B-0s were enlisted in the 1939 - 1940 period in a regular recce unit. They then disappeared with an unclear fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
