Nice one gary, I wish this was done in 1/48 scale. I have the MPM Arado Ar196 part built and would love to disply it on a catapult

Hi Mal,

First off good Job Garry!
I sent the kit to Garry and it's simple and would be a simple job ro use it as a guide to build one in 1/48. One thing's bugged me though since I first saw the photos but I hadn't found any photos till tonight. The 2 forward cradle supports appear to fit where the rear float supports connect to the fuselage-not at a single point as Garry has done. No biggie garry it's taken me a week to find the photos that show this but it should be an easy fix...Mike T
