    Revell 1/32 Arado Ar 196A-3

    I just finished my Revell Arado Ar 196A-3 floatplane in 1/32 scale I decided to try a water dio with it. I put a small pager motor in it to spin the prop the water is painted aluminum foil. The base is an up side down picture frame with the battery compartment under the water.
