This is all I could find in Monographs Arado Ar 196 by Marek J Murawski

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks David, that second picture is a gem and gives me something else to work on. Would that be a Teddy Bear on the left hanging onto the bar!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Heck, I did not notice it, but I believe you are correct!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for looking in gents and many thanks for the kind words.

Pushed on a bit today, still fiddling with the cockpit walls, a bit of wiring here a couple of rods there.

Not sure I'm overwhelmed with the outcome of this wiring and am thinking of stripping it and putting in clustered wire.

Was not happy with the moulded control rods, so have made a substitute set.

Thanks to David (vikingBerserker) and that picture with a teddy in it, I was able to add a touch more realism to the cockpit

 

[Wayne Little]

Doing a great job there Vic!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, I love the cable work.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks great Vic. The wiring looks fine to me and will be stellar once painted. That molded fire extinguisher, if that's what it is, might need attention though...

 

[Lucky13]

Great work Vic!

 

[fubar57]

Coming along nicely Vic. Can't wait to see how you tackle the Teddy bear.

Geo

 

[Wurger]

Yep.. looking forward to that. A nice job so far.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Vic!
