1/32 Arado Ar 196A-3 - Carrier Aircraft GB

[KoJo]

I say build it! The plane did take off of a ship..

 

[Crimea_River]

No problem Jason - go for it.

Thanks for the interest guys, hope I can do it justice.

So does this fit within the rules of the group build since it was a catapult launched aircraft?

Yes. The carrier Aircraft GB is any aircraft that has been launched from a ship, catapult aircraft included. From B-25"s to OS2U's...

It was, in fact, catapult launched !!

One of my favorite seaplanes, Jason, wish I could find a balsa/tissue model of it.

I'll keep my eyes open for you Mr. C....

Great choice Jason, another one to add variety, and one I've wanted to see built. Wouldn't mind doing one myself sometime, but probably in 1/48th scale - running out of space for more 1/32nd models !

Long been one of my "wants" also, ever since building the Lindberg 1/350 Bismarck, and devoting at least half the time painting on the Arados!
One of the coolest looking seaplanes of all time!

Is that the kit with the detail engine option ? I love that kit if so, can't wait to see it

Nice! Impressive interior frame parts, should look great painted and detailed.

 

[ccheese]

Looking good !

[Wurger]

With all here.

That was my attempt to give Charles and Wayne a hard time about their progress replies. I'm just in the cut parts off tree / clean-up stage. That took me a whole minute to tape together and get a pic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Naughty, naughty………………………….. Looked good though

 

[vikingBerserker]

A German seaplane! Most excellent!!

 

[KoJo]

Good looking kit! Starts off like Swordfish does, I cant think of a plane that looks better than the Arado does on floats.
