Revell 1/32 Arado AR196A-3 Seaplane "FINAL REVEAL!!":

Hello Guys,

Following on from my "Build Update #6" posting, I assembled the canopy onto the fuselage, attached an EZ-Line antenna, glued all the light lenses into their locations, glued the pitot tube and counter-balance weights onto the underside of the wings, along with door handles on the canopy frame sections, and, fitted the engine cowlings and engine bay doors in their open positions to complete her!! So, here are the "Final Reveal" images of my completed Arado AR196A-3...I hope you enjoy the views as much as I enjoyed building her! icon_e_smile.gif

And, forgive me for the number of photos that I have posted, I couldn't make my mind up which ones to select and it was taking me too long to choose, so in the end, I just uploaded all of the photos.

Well, there she is. I hope you enjoyed the views as much as I enjoyed building this fabulous kit, which I must say, is fabulous value for money!

Now, I have to start designing and planning part two of this build, which will be the diorama to set this plane into. I have 4 ideas presently "floating" around my head (no pun intended), but first, I need to sketch them all out and calculate my material requirements and costs before deciding which design idea I go with. I'm a little anxious as I've never built a diorama before and have no clue where to start, so, I guess watching some fellow modelers "How To" vids are my next step!

If you didn't see my "Build Thread" for this model, here is the link to it: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234980467-revell-132-arado-ar196a-3-seaplane-my-first-post/

In the mean-time, if you'd like to watch my "Final Reveal" YouTube video for this plane build, here is the link to it:

And, on my YouTube channel you can find my "In-Box-Review" and "Build Update" Videos, for this build, too:

Happy modeling guys!

Have Fun!

Cheers!!

An excellent piece of work there and good to see a very thorogh Wip, I should take note lol. I've got one moving along the stash pile so need to crack on with my other builds to get it out. It has given me some inspiration though.

Keep up the good work ........ whats next?

Cheers now

This looks to have been a lot of work. Congrats not only for a tremendously well done job, but also for staying with it.

Btw, did you post over on Finescale a year or so back, inquiring about some possible figures to use with this?

regards,

Jack

Wow, there's a lot to take in with this build! So much great detail, it's fantastic.

I have one of these in the stash, and will be checking back on your build thread when I eventually get around to mine - thanks for sharing all this.

Thanks for your kind comment, Bob, greatly appreciated! Next, I want to do my first ever diorama to put this into as this is what I personally consider my best build to date compared to all of the other 16 builds I have done since starting modeling in January 2014. I have no clue where to start with a diorama, so, I think I will have to study some "How To" videos!

Cheers,

Martin :)
