Small Scale Military Headquarters

A picture of the Atlas 1:72nd scale Arado 196 floatplane has been posted by member 24590613 on the DAF, which is paired with a Swordfish. Here's the picture. The Arado looks like one of the better ones from this often iffy line.[img][img]http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu75 ... ado196.jpg[/img][/img]

yea I am getting that for my Arado collection.

Nice looking Arado, Epap.

Didn't realize this was available.

No Atlas for me, but this one does look good.

And it is an Arado 196, in 1/72 scale.

It's not like I don't have a 1/72 196, the Revell 196A-2 and 3 Encore(Airfix) 196A-3 on the shelf. I am just going to have to get this as I don't have it..same theory for the upcoming 1/32 kit from Revell.

which board is the DAF?

DAF is Diecast Aviation Forum.

Some members here, and at DHP, are members there.

A good forum.However it is very UK based, and definitely in favour of Corgi.

You should check it out, and form your own opinion though.

heard of it, never visited before

although Mule is doing by 2 Corgi German fighters get 1 free this month so I might go there for Opinions and Reviews since I am looking at 110Cs and Ju87B-2 for 40-41 Europe.

Some of the sites are offering the 1/32 kit for about $29 US. Seems like it may be close to the He-162 kit in complexity but I like that kit so I will definitely be adding the Arado to my closet of unbuilt wonders.

new photos I found on the forums.

Where can I get one of these? I don't see any listed on eBay. Any sellers selling them?

The best place to look for the Arado 196-Swordfish set in on eBay/UK. One has already appeared and been gobbled up. Unfortunately most sellers don't ship to the U.S. but some do.
