Texas hurricane is underway let the fun begin!
Sorry for inverted pics cant get rotated🤠

Ben M
Rotation is well hidden. To rotate your photos, open your album. Click on "manage". Then turn on the "advanced options" toggle. You will now have the ability to rotate photos in the album.

Tcamp
Thanks ben
That was driving me nuts!!!!
Appreciate that brother!

Ben M
Glad I could help, mate! Looks like a fun build.

Tcamp

Its still a work in progress

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

Tcamp
Thank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

M0rce
Oooohhh... so nice 🙂
A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.

The details on this kit are so crisp. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the rear section.

Weathering for the body is done - Maybe Ive overdone it a little bit, but I really like the outcome so far.

Rui S
Looking good 👍

Mr James
That is one impressive paint job. Excellent skills shown with an airbrush 🙂

Bernd Grün
Schönes Modell, Simon! Exzellente Lackierung, Glückwunsch! 👌👌

Pipeman86
Hey Simon, richtig richtig gut!! Vor allem auch die Grundierung nach dem Verschleifen (Bild 1). Mega!!!

gasolier
Cool scheme! Well done

John Thomas
Very nice

Simon
Thank you very much guys!!

Vielen Dank Bernd und Chris!! Als nächstes werden die Markierungen auf den Seitenleitwerken und den Tragflächen gesprayt!! 🙂

Ben M
fun project. you should paint a giraffe next 🙂

Simon
Yes, certain similarities in the camouflage pattern cannot be denied. 🙂 It wasn't really the intention, it was supposed to be a mix of larger and smaller patches. But I still like it now. 🙂

Ben M
It looks really remarkable. You have constant density for all the patches. Skills!

Simon
Thanks Ben! 🙂

Alberto
Cool camo, nice paint job 👍

Simon
Thank you Alberto 🙂 Now i have to repaint the engines/intakes/nozzles.

Jan Peters
Beautiful camouflage pattern you have painted here!

Simon
Thank you very much!! 🙂 That pushes me to go on with the repainting of the intake / nozzle part! 🙂

Vincent
Great scheme. This looks great!!!

Simon
Thank you Vincent! 🙂

Skyhiker
I love this kit, it was one of my favorite to build. You have done a masterful job on that camo. Looks great.

HSC1932
This is the best Arado 555 I've seen, and I've seen many. What paint did you use to achieve that excellent finish?

Simon
Many thanks to you both! I'm really pleased that you like the paintwork! The project has already taken a lot of time so far. At first I thought it would be a quick job, but in the end the sanding, re-engraving and the countless thin layers of paint have taken a lot of time. Probably also because I watch series on the side 🙂

@HSC1932: I now only use Vallejo colours, mostly the Model Air colours if available. I also thin them a lot now: 4:2:3 (Flow Improver : Thinner : Paint). For the two main colours I used Vallejo MA 71.257 Light Blue RLM76 and MA 71.259 Grey Violet RLM75.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
👍👍Sieht heiß aus das Teil, besonders die Camouflage, hast du da ein Netz drüber gelegt und drüber gesprüht?

Simon
Moin Hans-Jürgen! Vielen Dank!! Ne, das habe ich mit ganz wenig Druck, geringem Abstand und der Politik der ruhigen Hand gemacht! 😉

Michael Kohl
Top paint job.

Simon
Vielen Dank Michael!!

CaptGPF
One word - AMAZING!

Simon
Thank you very much CaptGPF!!! 🙂

Secretary at ESSMC
Love the paint job - looks "submarine"
Great kit - see mine from a few years ago..SCM Search: roger trewenack arado*
I'll keep watching your work!

Simon
Thanks Mr. Secretary! 😅 Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like a ray. A ray with giraffe skin. 😁 Your Arado looks great too! What an idea with the camouflage. 👍🏼

Ben M
A girayffe if you will.

Simon
They are incredibly good at snorkelling! 🤣

Gerald
👍

Guy Rump
Looking good, like the different camo. 👍

Johne 69
Nice paintjob 👍

Simon
Thanks a lot mates. I urgently need to continue with the Arado. In the meantime, I had already applied all the decals. But I had actually bought a new kit of the Ar 555 because the old decals were partly printed with misalignment. In general, the new decals were of much better quality. Next up is another coat of gloss varnish to protect against the subsequent oil wash.

Kesa Tiho
Sehr nett

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

Rui S
Beutifully done clean build 👍

Bas Tonn

Robert Podkoński

Michael Kohl
Welcome Alec. The clear parts are so incredibly tiny, they stretch my painting skills to the limit - and beyond I am afraid. 🙂

Nicolas

Alec K
Michael, I am NOT worried 😂😂😂😉

For those with a soft spot for this vehicle but would like it just a wee bit bigger: Art Scale Kit just released this vehicle in scale 1:35.
Although a short run kit, the sprues looked fine and well detailed to me.

Very nice small vignette 👍

gorby
Very nice! I didn't know the Japanese used Vampires.

Hi gorby, the JASDF bought 1 example of the Vampire trainer for evaluation in 1956. They did not order any, but the Vampire was kept and is exposed in a museum in Japan now.
