did this one for the Big Beautiful Bomber's Campaign and thought I'd post it here.

It's Revell-Monogram's Arado Ar 234C-3










To me its an acceptable build, as I look on it as one of my learning projects. I mainly learned, that I don't like the Revell plastic as much as the tamiya plastic.

For me this kit had fit issues with attaching the cockpit area to the rest of the plane. the small parts were very fragile, and many of the darn decals just fell apart when I tried to use them.

But all in all I learned a lot too, I learned a lot on using my new airbrush the Badger Renegade Velocity. I learned ways to paint a aircraft with a lot of angles and odd shaped areas. And I learned a lot building this thing.

Although overall I'm not greatly thrilled with the kit, I am happy with the stuff I learned..

Feel free to comment, as everything is useful in improving one's skills...

Decals falling apart! Yikes!! I think, as I've said we all need to write a collective letter to all of the model kit manufacturers demanding better decals. Nothing worse than doing all that work and the decals screw up!
A good job on your Arado, nothing wrong with it especially considering the problems you had with it. If you had fun and learned something it's a success! Russell

Hi Delbert,

I guess that's what it's all about - learning with each new build. I think you did a really top class job.

thats a nice clean build of one of my favouite aircraft delbert.
my earliest attempts at air brushing were nowhere near as good as your 234, and after 20 odd years of model building i'm definitely still learning!
