  1. Fantastic result out of the complex Hasegawa kit, Rafi!
    Outstanding painting and weathering!

  2. Superb!
    Once again, your modeling skills shine through.
    Thank you for posting this excellent model.

  3. Excellent Arado. I built this kit too. Simple and straight forward for the most part but I decided to make things worse by using the Aires Cockpit set.

  4. Nice work on what I recall was not an easy kit.

  5. Looks great - some nice cockpit details in there as well!

  6. That's a beautiful result, Rafi @blackmopane
    Any idea what kind of equipment is used underneath the wings.

    • Thank you, John.
      These are pods used in a variety of aircraft types. The Germans installed rocket JATO to facilitate takeoff from short runways. They were ejected after takeoff and had parachutes for reuse.
