1/32nd Arado Ar 196-A3 ...The Return !!

[Chris S]

Hi folks

Well ,some of you will remember this one ,I had to drop out of the Group build because of some other commitments and I just didnt have the time to keep all the builds going . Things have settled down a bit now tho' so i would really like to get this moving again ....and get it finished !

For those that dont know ,this is the kit ......



And its currently sitting in the same state I left it ...Back in November !!! ???









So ,over the next few days I will be getting some paint threw at this ,and I will keep it moving now until finished .

Thanks to all of you that kept asking ...reminding ...poking ...and coaxing me to get it done ;D....it shall be done !

Chris.

Yep, fondly remembered!! IIRC, I was so taken with your progress on this, I went and bought the kit! It is a beauty though. Look forward to it Chris! Glad you're able to pick it back up!!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks for that Jeff , Stick with it now ..it will be finished

Chris.

8) oh ! its back on the bench ! Wicked ! Can't get enough of that baby !!!

could you put something next to it so I can get a sense on HOW big it is??? real life ! I want one bad but if it's too big... I might have to go one scale down !!! if available ?

nice pre-shading !!! looks subtle ! but effective !

take care ! big guy !

Good to see you back at it Chris!

 

[Chris S]

Hey Norm ,thanks buddy . Im not sure there was any point in the pre shade topside ,the camo is pretty dark ...so it may not be of any benefit.
I think you ask me about the size before ?? ...maybe someone else ,anyhow here's a pic of the fuselage taken a while ago along side a 1/35 Marder ....you can see the cockpit is nearly the length of the Marder ;D She's a biggy !!




Hi Myke ,good to be back at it

Chris.

Hey Norm ,thanks buddy . Im not sure there was any point in the pre shade topside ,the camo is pretty dark ...so it may not be of any benefit.

Chris I have no doubt you can make this pre shade work with this camo. It's gonna be great!
You can do it montage.
