Trumpeter 03452 Ar 196 1:700 Scale Model Overview

The Trumpeter 03452 Ar 196 models the German Arado seaplane used for reconnaissance duties during WWII, captured here in 1:700 scale for collectors and scale historians. Its subject ties directly to naval aviation history and complements period ship models.

Fine Workmanship in Miniature

Designed with 48 plastic parts, this kit reproduces the Ar 196's lines at a tiny scale. The assembled model measures 16.3mm in length with a 17.7mm wingspan, delivering a compact yet recognisable aircraft for museum-style displays or research layouts.

Construction Notes and Finishing Tips

The Trumpeter Ar 196 is supplied without metal, resin or photo-etched details, relying on injection-moulded plastic for all components. That choice streamlines building and lets modellers focus on accurate painting and subtle weathering to bring the subject to life.

Yes. If desired, enthusiasts often add fine rigging, aftermarket decals, or micro-detailing to enhance accuracy while keeping the small-scale proportions in mind.
