Given that it is supposed to represent an Arado embarked on a free-roaming auxiliary cruiser, I tried to make it look worn, but not too much, as I suspect that it would have been kept hidden for much of the time.
As you can see, the floats alone sported a range of tricky stencils, marking the danger area for the prop, and the contents of the various hatches - spare mg ammunition, rations, first aid kit etc.
Not a bad looking kit for something so old. And I quite like the unusual overall blue finish, minus national markings.
The Skua is next up, but I think I'll have a quick foray into 42mm wargaming, as Ross Mac has recently posted some new rules - 'A Rattle of Dice'...
Great plane.I too am pondering a 40mm game.In my case with my vikings.
ReplyDeleteI see you went for a 25/8mm medieval - with cracking hills!
DeleteI like it too - I'm something of a 'collector' of Luftwaffe subjects that can be finished without recourse to the airbrush. There are more of them than you'd think. This is a goodie
ReplyDeleteExcellent ! I shall keep an eye on your blog - it's a bit hit and miss with brush applied late war Ger finishes, so easier to manage cammo would be welcome.
