1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Now In Completed Section

[mustang1989]

It's been a long while since I've done anything aviation related so it's been really difficult to decide on what I'm going to do for an ice breaker for the last few months. I bounced back and forth from Ta-152 to an Fw190 D series to a 190 A series to finally .........this:

A Hase offering of the 234:


I bought two of these because every time I start hackin' on a build for detail add ons like cockpits or engine displays or anything like that I have inherent problem of messing something up along the way to the point of being unrepairable so I just head it off at the pass with a spare parts kit. I don't know when exactly I'll get started on this bad boy as I still have to finish up my '54 Chevy Panel Wagon that I'm building in the Auto section here but I decided to post a Threadlocker anyway.

Here are the upgrades:

Great to see you building an aircraft again Joe – and a cool choice. those engines will look the business.

[LyleW]

Well, now....that is a good choice!

[mustang1989]

Thanks fellas.

I picked one of these up as well just so I could have some of the odds and ends out of it.



and a set of these:

[Stuart]

Cool - this'll be something to watch!

[Medicman71]

Very interesting. Can't wait to see more.

[BorgR3mc0]

Looks like you have got every thing set for a nice build.

'Preciate the support folks. I'll be gathering some more info on this one and be learning it in the next month or so. Still gotta do all the trim work and chrome on my '54. Hoping to be done with it by mid August and be started on this one. It's been a loooong time (almost two years) since I built me an aircraft so I'm really looking forward to this one.

An Arado Ar 234! One of the most beautiful aircraft ever! At least for me.
Still waiting for a Revell 1/32 scale kit (please!), in the meantime I take a seat in front row here.

[Duke Maddog]

Revell most likely won't do it in 1/32 scale. Zoukei Mura on the other hand.....

I'm watching this too. Keep plugging man!
