Hi Andy

WOW! It looks every bit as gorgeous as I'd hoped! This has to be the "must have" kit of the year for Luftwaffe fans...

All the best

Hi Rowan,
I fell in love with this kit when I saw a unpainted built up model at the Telford show. I decided there and then I had to have it. I bought it at the Milton Keynes show Sunday and to tell the truth felt excitement ripping through my body opening the box.
This is a definite must have, even if it looks a little daunting to the eye. Its a scary looking kit but one that I feel would be the most enjoyable to build.

Andy - I've found the Arado Ar234 in it's many variants an interesting subject for years, I've found many of the 1/72nd kits quite daunting, but in 1/32nd WOW should build up to a magnificent model, can't wait to see your efforts. Best of Luck.

It certainly looks the business!
Ive seen it at a few shows over the last year slowly coming together and the detail really is stunning!
I know how much you enjoyed getting your hands on this mate,, the grin on your face was about 6' wide!!
Have fun

Great review Andy.

It looks like a wonderful kit. I would not mind having this and their Typhoon. Unfortunately, I would rather eat over the next few months.

If anybody has one laying around, that they don't need, I cam PM you my address.
