About product

Arado Ar-66 Nachtschlacht — single-seat version (1:72, RS models)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German Arado Ar-66 biplane in its single-seat form for night ground attack duty (Nachtschlacht single-seater) in 1:72 scale from RS models. It is a short-run kit intended for more experienced modelers. The box contains injection-molded plastic sprues, clear parts and a decal sheet with several marking options; check the exact contents against the particular edition.

The real subject

The Arado Ar-66 appeared at the beginning of the 1930s as a German training biplane with a V-form Argus engine. During the Second World War a number of the machines found a role in night ground attack squadrons (Nachtschlacht) on the Eastern Front. Some of the aircraft were converted to single-seaters for this purpose — in place of the second crew member they carried an additional bomb load for harassing ground targets at night. It is this single-seat ground attack conversion that the model captures.

Building and painting tips

As with short-run kits, count on careful cutting of the parts from the sprues, cleaning up and dry test fitting. Glue the joints with liquid cement for plastic, and super glue will help with the small and clear parts. On a biplane, mind the accurate seating of the upper wing and the struts. Apply a gloss clear coat before the decals and unify the surface with a fine wash.

Who the model is for

  • More experienced modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • Collectors of German biplanes and night ground attack squadrons
  • Anyone interested in less common combat conversions of training aircraft
  • Modelers who will appreciate an unconventional subject in 1:72 scale

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

FAQ

Yes, it is an injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale. It is a short-run kit for more experienced modelers.

The single-seat conversion dropped the second crew member in favor of the combat role; the kit captures this night ground attack variant of the Ar-66.

This version is the single-seat ground attack form. A two-seat night ground attack form and a purely training version also exist — the role, the crew and the markings differ.
