DaveyGair Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The other aircraft (and the only other suitable for this GB) I will attempt is this Ar-196 from the dual boxing with a Sea Gladiator by Sword. Again OOB with stuff like seatbelts and rigging added. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Great choice, ms Jockney junior still has hers to finish from the last one. I took advantage of Enzo by threatening to send the typical teenager round if he disagreed to allow the roll over. Fortunately he agreed ! good luck with this one cheers Pat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi Dave, Great choice for your second entry! I've been looking for this boxing to add it to my stash, so I'll follow the build closely. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz75 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Wow, I'm building this kit right now. If you need any advise let me know. It is very nice. Nice interior details, watch for manual. It has couple mistakes in interior section. Machine gun is a piece of..... useless. looks like sausage. 😀 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ok, so, going to get on with this and 'phase' the Sunderland in later. Here's the contents for this kit out of the box, which also contains a Sea Gladiator. Strangely, the Gladiator has a nicely detailed resin engine but the Arado has to make do with a plastic one which isn't as good but will do. Does have a nice resin cowling though. The first for any short run kit I've done, there are locating pins and holes in the fuselage halves. On 9/2/2019 at 9:11 PM, Franz75 said: Wow, I'm building this kit right now.

Franz, if you're looking, let me know what I've done wrong! There are a lot of large ejector pin plugs to remove, but the softish plastic makes them easy to carve away! More to come, depending on how I get on will start the Sunderland soon. Davey. Nice radio but spoilt by a sink mark! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Good start, Dave! Seems to be a well detailed kit. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz75 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hello DaveyGair I just have finished my Arado form Sword. You can make a nice replica, from this short run kit. Please check my kit, I have only added a resin engine and dolly car, the rest was from the box. I hope you don't mind. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, I can only hope mine turns out as good! Done a bit more today. The instructions are very vague as to how to mount the seat, so I looked up the revell kit to see if I could copy it. I thought the seat was too tall as well so cut it down, Painted the interior RLM 02, then a dirty wash, then a light grey drybrush, picked out the leather pouches but apart from that, job's a good 'un. Still got to add belts and have a look at what colour to do the stick grips. Davey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franz75 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Davey, watch for radio hood (your last picture) it won't fit into a canopy. I had to make, a smaller one. !!!!!!!!!! Another mistake is na pilot's head support above radio hood. Watch for this one. Edited October 6, 2019 by Franz75 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
