1:32 Arado Ar 234B-2/N from Fly Model

Post by James H »

Hi folks,

Here it is, freshly finished and photographed for Military Illustrated Modeller.

In all, it's mostly been a great build. It has been a little frustrating in places, but that's the nature of a short-run kit. I have to say that Fly have done a pretty good job with those, and if you're contemplating getting it.....don't....just go and BUY!

Even though she's a pretty big bird, she's still sort of dwarfed a little in stature by the HK Models 1:32 Dornier Do 335!

This is seriously a lot of resin. The clear parts seem to be crystal clear. Are they resin too or vacuformed?

Very convincing finish of this WW2-bird, that looks like it was developed in the late 50's. Will have a closer look on the pics in MIM.
Cheers,
Torben

The transparencies aren't crystal clear, but very useable. They could benefit from further polishing.

Also the open canopy is a scratch made part as I had to drill out the canopy which was moulded closed.

Very nice kit to build though.

Wow! Your night-fighting Arado is FLY!!!

Looks fabulous...the Hasegawa quarter-scale is pretty good but hard to find nowadays...

Wow! How did this one pass by without me noticing it?? Nicely done sir, on both the 234 and the Dornier.
I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, smothered in Canadian bacon.
