Atlas Arado 196

Post by Epap » Thu Aug 19, 2010 12:39 pm

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]

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. 8)

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.

DAF is Diecast Aviation Forum.

http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/index.php?

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. :wink:

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. :lol:

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.
