Erwin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I would like to see a list of German ships that carried the Arado 196 so I can decide on the markings. I do have the profiles from Wingspalette... http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/h/21/2/3 The kit offers Bismarck codes. Can I go with those ?

Erwin Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I'm certain we already had this discussion and it was more than appropriate! Bismarck I was wrong yet again. I recieved the kit today and it has Tirpitz marking. I will deal with the correct markings for this GB after the painting is done.
