discussion Andy's Arado...

[The Smythe Meister]

Well, waiting for an entire couple of days until the weekend without anything on the bench was NEVER gonna work really was it?!! ..
....SO,I decided to pick a little plane in the meantime,and ere it be...

A very old kit,(and very poor quality tbh !!),but I've always liked em and am determined to make a decent fist of this :thumb2: . Having said that,it really is Basic...



There are a couple of float configs provided for,but I'm going for just the pair ones as you can see in the above box art.
The kit is a wierd mix of resin , plastic and vac formed bits, with absolutely NO location points...

.. case in point!!.. Anyway, it's a crap kit,but of a plane that I particularly like,so I'm gonna do my best to make a decent job of it :nerd:
More to come soon :thumb2:,
It may not be of interest to many, but I think they look pretty cool!!
Cheers for now,
Andy

Interesting Andy. You'll spend more time getting it fit than the few days to the weekend!

Different!

It's just dawned on me that I sometimes stay up past midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.....that means I could make a fair old dent in the plastic for the GB before dawn! :smiling5:

Interested to see what you make of this one Andy. The mouldings look a little plain, but there doesn’t seem to be much flash on it,…l

Those expert kits from back in the day can be a challenge getting the resin and plastic to fit up well, but with patience and a bit of elbow grease they can be made in a fine finished model.
