Dennis7423 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 All- Looks like for 2025, Revell Germany plans to re-release the 1/32 Arado Ar-196A-3 floatplane (two floats), and they will be releasing a 1/32 Sea Hurricane Mk.IIc as well. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA Erwin, Gazzas, Tony T and 9 others 9 3
csavaglio Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Wow, that surprises me, I thought I'd heard the molds were modified to make the single float version, which is why it was OOP this whole time. C
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I could go with an Arado float plane, I got a thing about floatplanes .,flying boats, amphibs and the like . However I 'd need either a catapult or beaching gear to go with it[ don't do water dioramas] Archimedes and Christa 2

Dennis7423 Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 The goofy thing about the HpH catapult is that it's unique to a certain few German cruisers, not any battleships. It severely limits marking options if you care about accuracy. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA CRAZY IVAN5 and Rick Griewski 1 1

One way around that would be to scratch build some beaching gear though I'd have to find some good pics of one first . OR find the correct markings for the cruisers that used the aircraft[doubtful].

That's easy enough, just look up the Admiral Hipper. She was outfitted with the type of catapult HpH provides, and there are photos and profiles of her Ar-196's. I suppose we'll have to wait even longer for Revell to bring us a Hurricane Mk.Ia, sadly. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA CRAZY IVAN5 1
Christa Posted January 10 Posted January 10 7 hours ago, CRAZY IVAN5 said: don't do water dioramas] Have you never seen beached boats, left high and dry by a falling tide? Might give you a diorama without beaching gear or catapult, merely a buoy mooring and mooring bridle laid askew on the putty - just a thought. MikeC and CRAZY IVAN5 1 1
MikeMaben Posted January 10 Posted January 10 If you have the Hurricane IIB kit, you can use the ventral fuselage panel to get a land base IIC. Maybe they'll include one in the Sea version.
Gazzas Posted January 10 Posted January 10 This is cool. I've been wanting the Arado for a while now. CRAZY IVAN5 1
