Franz75 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Hello, I just have complete this nice kit, it was a short run made by Sword in 1/72. The kit is not to bad for a short run, picky model builders might say that an interior needs more detailing. Inside instruction, sheet you can find some minor mistakes in part for the interior assembly. Better is to crosscheck outside historical reference. The details on wings and fuselage are very good and accurate. That makes this kit so nice, but I added a resin engine because one form the kit didn't look like one. It was so nice that I couldn't force my self to covet it. That is why I made it open. The car is from Kora, it needed some upgrade. It was done a bit sloppy, railing and wheels were horrible and beyond repair. Arado was painted by AK Interaktive paints, the scheme is from Kreta. Enjoy.

72modeler Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Very nice Arado, Franz! You can almost smell the salt spray on the floats. Very nice rendition of the RLM 72/73 maritime colors, too. Great job on the beaching trolley, as well. I think you portrayed the wear and tear of a land-based floatplane very realistically. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franz75 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks, every one, for your comments. I was afraid to over "wethered" the kit. But it came out just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
