Kit Review
Revell-Germany Arado Ar 196A-3 Seaplane - 1/32 Scale, 192 parts
Reviewed by Glen Broman

There is nothing better than relieving the stress of a tough day at work than a little retail therapy at your favorite model shop. Sort of like the bar from “Cheers” where everyone knows your name. After a particularly rough day pounding square pegs into round holes, I stopped at Great Lakes Hobby on the way home. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I had read in one of the model magazines that Italeri had released a 1/48 Arado 196 seaplane. For those of you not among the cognoscenti, the Ar 196 floatplane was that German floatplane you see mounted on capital ships like the Bismarck and heavy cruisers or getting blasted into the sea by Spitfires in British World War 2 flicks.
