Working electric window lifters 👍 On a model? 😮 Never seen that!

Following!

the window are manually lifted, sorry - you lift up the gull-wing door, and that reveals the bottom cog which you can wind with your finger

CaptGPF
Does that window also roll up and down?! That's truly sick! Watching!

Alex Rakhimgulov

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

Simon
Thank you Vincent! 🙂

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

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

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.

Sehr nett
