Username: Soclakit86

Model: Arado Ar 234B-2/N "Nachtigall" (Kit Number JT85)
Scale: 1:48
Add-ons: P.E. seat belts and scratch

For my first participation in a GB on this forum, I chose to present a machine that has always fascinated me, the Arado Ar 234 more particularly in its rarest version, that of night fighting.

For the documentation, I will use the magazine Réplic n ° 135 (11/2002) and the Aéro Detail n ° 16.

Cordially.

Good choice. I built the HobbyCraft 234 years and years ago. It was a nice kit , but not a lot of detail. It looks like that Hasegawa kit is way ahead in that respect

Excellent subject. I built the day bomber version of this kit some years ago in an earlier GB and also have a few references if you need them.

Very nice...

Great choice, looking forward to the build.

Same. Somewhat of a leap of faith with the camo though, since no pictures exist other than a cockpit shot with antenna and the some shots of the radar operators hell hole. Until recently I though only one was issued for combat trials, but there may have been one or two more, supposedly with proper nightfighter camo as your kit box depicts. Good luck! I'm sure it will look awesome.

Hello everybody ;

What's happening Mathieu?

due to health concerns and too much work afterwards, I have not yet had the time to start this assembly.

I am sorry that I could not keep this commitment made to the forum and its members but do not despair of being able to work there soon.

Cordially.

 

[Snautzer01]

Hope your health will return very soon.

 

[Wurger]

Get well soon.

 

[Crimea_River]

All the best wishes.

 

[Airframes]

Look after yourself, and hope to see you here soon.
