About product

Arado Ar 199 V-5 1:72 (RS Models)

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale capturing the Arado Ar 199 V-5 prototype machine from RS Models. It is a short-run model; the box holds parts in gray plastic, clear glazing and decals for the prototype version. The V-5 designation refers to the fifth test airframe (Versuchsmuster) of the type.

The real subject

The Arado Ar 199 was a low-wing training floatplane designed in the late 1930s for training pilots of float and catapult-launched aircraft. The prototype machines served to prove out the airframe and its equipment; V-5 was one of these test aircraft. The enclosed cabin offered side-by-side seats for the instructor and the pupil plus a further place at the rear, and the machine stood on a pair of floats.

Building and painting tips

A short-run mold calls for cleaning up the parts and dry-fitting before gluing. Use thin model cement on the plastic and paint the cabin and the floats before closing them up. Fit the glazing only after spraying and clear-coating; an airbrush and a primer help toward an even surface.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in prototypes and less common German types
  • Modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • Collectors of floatplanes in 1:72 scale
  • Admirers of prewar aviation

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
