This Arado served with 2./SAGr 125 in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean during 1943. This is the "costal" version of the Arado 196 designed to defend coastal areas and ports and to interdict and attack shipping. In this coastal role it both took off from and landed on the water as it returned to port. It mounted 2 - 7.92 MG, 2 - 20mm cannon, and most importantly, in its strike role, carried 2 - 110lb(50kg) bombs.

Just love it Mike, she is a beaut, well done.

Mike, sorry to do this to you but when you have time can you take a looks at the judging photo requirements for the GBs and add the ones you have missed, that way judging remains balanced between all entrants.

Here is the photo requirement link:

Thought I had all angles covered. Is it the dead on front and dead on tail I'm missing?

Good job Mike, and I'm with Vic on the pics. Dead ahead and from six would be good.
