The only Arado that I can think of is the 1/72 Airfix, but the Heinkel has been done by Classic Airframes.

Hi there

MPM do (or did) an Arado 196 too. I have that one buried somewhere in the stash. There's an in-box review of it here:

There's a full-build of the HiPM kit here:

All the best

Rowan
