Revell's 1:32 Arado sea plane. In the guise of one of the planes aboard the Tirpitz. The instructions call out for a (nice) decal that indicate the 100th launch, but since I found pictures that the plane had them on both sides, and only one is included, I left it off.
I added the national markings on the tail and replaced the lifting /handling cables for metal ones. Since I am not sure what color those cables where, but doubt they would be painted (the paint would flake off due to the flexing of the cables) I left them metal colored.
The dust somehow got embedded in the matt varnish, even though I painted the plane outside and let it dry there too!!!

I think you pretty much nailed the result. It looks very nice.

Erwin Leetink
Thank you Dave!

Steven Van Dyck
Well made, Erik. I don't understand why your project doesn't appear with mine in the list below this kit.

Guy Rump
Great result, congrats! 👍

Erwin Leetink
Thanks Steven and Guy. Much appreciated!
I don't see yours in the list of projects either, Steven!

Steven Van Dyck
It's the one with the metallic primer picture. I didn't name that album. Arado Ar 196 A-3 | Project by StevenVD (1:32)

Erwin Leetink
Oh yes, now I see it. I was searching for the wrong picture. I shouldn't try to do those things late in the evening...

Michael Kohl
Nice result. In case you bother: correct typo would be "Augen der Flotte". 🙂
That darn german genitiv...

Marcin Terlikowski

Bernhard Schrock

Mr D

The Rising sun decals look painted on and looks good. Nice job, lm yet to build a WW2 Japanese fighter.

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

Weizenbrot
Thank you Marcin!

Weizenbrot
Thank you Bernhard. Yes it is, I will upload some more pictures for the process.

Weizenbrot
Hi Mr D. Haha they are painted on. I tried to use as less decals as possible except somethings like the Japanese "No Step" which is too complicated for me XD. The Antenna is 0.05 mm copper wire.

Weizenbrot
Thank you Guy!

Marcin Terlikowski
I finished exactly the same one few weeks ago. What color is on fuselage?

Weizenbrot
Hi Marcin. It was Mr. Hobby's Kawasaki Green for base. For highlight I added some yellow and white. For shadow I added Japanese propeller or any brown in red tone will work.
