Hi guys,

Just finished this one. It took me about two months to complete it. It was built out of box. Hope you like the pics [:)]

That is a very good looking model.[B] ROG has done a great job with this kit, the details are just fantastic spacially the radial engine which is a kit in itself.

I built one back in 2012 and did it with the wings folded. It saves a ton of display space.

Well done!

Wow! That’s such a clean build! Great work with the details. I have the Tamiya 1/48 kit and when I get to it these pictures will be my inspiration.

Just when you think your build order is all laid out… then you see a nice build like this and you say to yourself, “I got that in the stash! Now I wanna build it!” Well done.

Cnq, very nice Arado! Very well painted, and detailed! Great job!

Excellent work. Cockpit detail is stunning. It’s nice to see something other than an Me 109…truly impressive.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Now I’m thinking about building the Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish to complement my Arado [:)]

Fantastic looking build! Love the nice clean look on this one. How did you find the kit to build up? I have heard the canopy has some problems with being able to see the reinforcements where you glue the pieces together?

Thanks Jester75. It’s a good kit with most of the parts fitting very well except when matching the wings to fuselage that it has a gap that needs to fill up. The canopy glass comes in pieces and that’s true it’s a pain to glue them up and you can see the joints where they come together. There is custom canopy you could get to avoid this issue though. I’m cheapo and usually build everything out of box to keep cost down.

I had forgotten about the multi part canopy that’s a PITA to assemble. It takes a lot of fitting and patience. I used Testors clear parts cement to assemble the puzzle. The clarity is very good too.
