ssculptor Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Well, they haven't announced a price yet. But their 1/32 AERO L-29 DELFIN is listed at $235 so I imagine that the Arado 196 will cost as least as much. That price is a bit steep for the likes of me so, as much as I like float planes, I will never get that one. I understand that the low production resiin kits are worth the high prices asked. When you consider the high cost of the mold and casting materials, plus the fact that the molds are short lived and therefore have to be recast themselves, plus the fact that it is all hand labor, the high prices asked are quite justified. I just cannot pay them. To me, a hobby should never be a burden.

DougN Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have their 1/32 Avia B.534 kit, and it is a thing of beauty, no mistake! One of the nicest, if not the nicest, kit in my collection - almost too nice to build . Its like the Tamiya 1/32 Spit 9 of resin kits Cheers, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP Dan Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I agree with the Avia kit. I know some of you are not big fans of eBay but watch for the Arado once it's been announced. I got my Avia on eBay for get this,..............$84.00 including shipping! You CAN get a good deal if you look hard enough! I was on the fence about it simply because of the price. I just set a limit, unlike some people ( recent bid war on the Tamiya Mk IX for example kit sold for $119.98 plus $9.00 shipping) not horrible but you could probably order it from any good mail order for that price or better. Why go through the hassle of bidding? Okay, rant over, sorry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep this trend we can really look forward to that Arado. I am not talking about financials, though Cheers Jozef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre F-86 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Pretty sure it was never placed on wheels. It was originally designed as a seaplane. There were two versions built, single mainfloat and outrigger pontoons and the regular two float version. As far as I know, the single float design was scrapped in favour of the 2 float version. Theres a nifty video clip of the single float version doing some landings in nasty weather during trials and the entire engine breaks off and catches fire. I've never seen a photo in all my references of one on wheels. Perhaps late in the war, in desperation, but I'm pretty sure that there was no factory build land based under cart for it. Stephen, have you considered a paper to plastic attempt? The paper model I've seen is very comprehensive and with some work would lend itself to that sort of thing.

Michel borderline Beekveld Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Found the nifty clip. Just wish i could have seen the face of the pilot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3QrFW7czes...=PL&index=7 MBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
