Revell 32 scale: Arado AR196 A-3

[BarryW]

My first Revell since the 70's.... excellent kit and a real pleasure right until the end when I had to tussle with that awful canopy with its flat sections. I am not at all happy with how the canopy turned out. But here are the pics...

Well Barry all the tussling with the canopy seems to have worked, it looks ok in the images (at least i personally can't see anything that stands out as poor fitting)

Sometimes when we've had a little battle with a few bits i think we get a little too fixated on them and they never seem to be right no matter what, maybe thats how you feel about the canopy.

Back to the model .... it's a cracker really, some nice subtle weathering and lots of little details to catch the eye, the rigging is nicely done and the decals look painted on.

Very well done Barry. It's a lovely clean build and the finish looks great.

Two of you have produced excellent models from this kit now, along with generally positive comments. Despite your warning about the canopy,which incidentally looks good to me,I find myself sorely tempted!

Cheers

Steve
