Nice choice John. I have the little 1/72 kit. All I need is time and for this house to get itself finished!

[Guest]

Is an excellent choice John!

One day I see a weathered one, and was an amazing plane.

Good luck mate!

It's a great kit with some fantastic detail for the price I managed to pick one up from wonderland Models for £14.99( yet to build this one). There are two versions to build and a choice of folded or in flight position. Check out my build thread it might help you when you get started http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/revell-1-32-arado-196a-3.13912/.

These look great when built. Vaughan's is a great example - no pressure there then.
