    Good evening IModelers 🙂

    I started working on this model. The kit was a gift from a friend :). I also have Kuivalainen PE set (Eduard).
    I finished the cockpit, masked canopy, made floats. I used ModelMaster RLM 02 for the cockpit. Cockpit will be painted with semi-gloss varnish.

    If you have any suggestions, please write 😉

    Sorry for bad English.

    Cheers.
    Mladen.

    Mladen - no suggestions - just keep up the good work! Makes my old Airfix 196 look sparse! I didn't realize they had packaged all that PE in the Revell kit.

    I look forward to seeing the finished model posted!

    Thanks Greg 😉

    There may be a slight misunderstanding. I bought PE separate from Revell kit.
    Cheers 🙂

    I went a little further with this beauty. Floats are almost finished, a few more little things to be done. I did some details of the underside of the wings, put the cable on both sides, a little PE detail throughout the whole structure. In the kit there is no exhaust, so I made them.

    Criticism, tips, opinions are more than welcome.

    Sorry for the bad english.

    Cheers guys.

    Good evening everyone.

    I made a trolley for Ar 196. I used balsa wood, plastic, copper wire and medical needles. I took the wheel of the Me 410, they're a little bigger, but it does not bother me.
    I am pleased with the result and I hope you will like it.

    Sorry for the bad English 🙁

    Cheers 🙂

    Mladen, painstaking work on this, I really like what the photoetch adds to the kit. It always seemed more refined that the Airfix, but probably 10 years between them. Or more.
    Great work on the floats, a real improvement on what they give you, which is pretty good, already.

    And the trailer is really well done! The two together will be a museum type display. Inspirational!
    Your english is fine, by the way.
