Strangeways Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Huma's very nice 1/72 Arado Ar 80. Great fit of parts and sharp trailing edges, it just needed a bit of extra detail in the cockpit. 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yet another perfect and faultless example of how the simplist looking models can still capture that big WOW factor - I just love It!! Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 ... That looks great for an interwar plane thats pretty sleek looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wow! Amazing job! Huma did a ton of really neat-looking prewar kits that make very nice models, but this is by far the best one I have ever seen. A very handsome airplane, too! Flawless finish. Well done!

Vinnie Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That's a really nice sleek looking aircraft. I've not seen one before. Very well presented, Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Stunning. Modelling, presentation and photography. Can you feel the envy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Superb model of a failed design! You can see at a glance that in competition with the Bf 109 V1, it wouldn't stand a chance. It was overweight from the start, the original retracting landing gear wouldn't work and had to be replaced by the fixed gear shown here, and so on. The third and final prototype ended as an armament test bed, being in fact the first German cannon armed 'fighter'. Amazingly neat build and finish! And a pity that Huma bit the grass. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh G Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Beautiful job. I think this plane, style-wise, may have influenced the Russian Il-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 What a lovely looking model. A beautiful finish and a very attractive colour scheme. I'm quite tempted to venture out of my usual modelling area of interest by this. I understand Huma have ceased trading. Does anyone know if another company picked up the moulds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro1 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Very nice indeed. Too bad Huma Models stopped trading as they had some very nice models in their range... Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twentecable Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I agree with previous comments. This build proves how the love for the model can outclass modern kit madness. Stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This is a really neat and nicely finished model. Very eye-catching indeed. I love the finish, especially what looks like a neat pin wash in the panel lines. Really sets it apart. Also the shade of grey looks spot on for aircraft coming out of Germany in that era. Great job.
