If only they'd release it in 1/72!!!

As much as it's a lovely kit, for those of us with limited display space, it's just not realistic & with no decent modern rendering of it (or its German counterpart, the Arado ar196) available in 1/72, I think they're missing a trick

True, but that was tooled in 1979-wouldn't it be nice to have a nice new modern tool from Revell or Airfix?

Airfix's Arado is even older being tooled in 1966!
