1/144 Arado Ar-96 B-1/B-3 by Foxone





Following up on the much sought after bf-108, Foxone is preparing a Arado Ar-96.

This will be another short run resin kit and will be supplied with 3x (Alps) Decal Option and full assembly and painting instructions.

You will be able to create the following options:

Ar96B-1,Black KF+CG
FFS A/B 71 Pilot School,Luftwaffe,
Prostejov (Probnitz) airfield,
Bohemia-Moravia Protectorate,1942

Ar96B-3,Yellow 104/White S
JFS 3 Fighter Training School, Luftwaffe,
Karup-Grove airfield,Denmark,spring 1942

Ar96B-3 Yellow 261
JFS 2 Fighter Training School, Luftwaffe,
Magdeburg/Zerbst airfield,summer 1942


I think most will welcome this unusual addtioan to the 1/144 world, and it also like the bf-108 allow for some interesting diorama options?

Hmmm, NICE.
I will have to get one of these to add to the 108.

Wish these things were a little cheaper than 3000 yen.

The Bf108 and Ar-96B? I wonder what else Foxone have planned in what is looking like a series of Luftwaffe trainers - a Jungmann or Jungmeister, perhaps?

And when will we see a Hs123 and a Hs126? Yes, I know Reviresco do the former (and a He51, for that matter), but plastic is definitely easier to work with than pewter/white metal.
