About product

Arado Ar E.555 (P-Series) Model Set 1:72 (Revell)

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from the German manufacturer Revell, belonging to the manufacturer's P-Series line. That line covers the German aircraft projects of the end of the Second World War which stayed on the drawing board. The Model Set version adds the basic paints, a brush and glue to the model, so the box is ready for building.

The real subject

The Ar E.555 was an Arado design for a long-range jet bomber in a flying wing layout, that is a machine without a separate fuselage and without a conventional tail unit. The swept wing surfaces were to carry the crew cabin in the leading edge and a cluster of jet engines above the rear. The project existed in several variants, which differed in the number and the placement of the engines, and none of them was built. The model is therefore a model of a design study, not a copy of a flying machine, and in the same way the markings supplied are imagined.

Building and painting tips

A flying wing has large smooth surfaces on which every seam and scratch shows, so it pays to fill the joints, sand them back and even out the surface with a base color before spraying. Spray the large area in thin coats so that the paint does not pile up in the corners. Bring out the panel lines with a fine wash. With a project aircraft you have no period photographs, so stick to the schemes in the instructions when it comes to camouflage.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in unbuilt German aircraft projects
  • Modelers looking for an unusual shape for the display case
  • Beginners looking for a box with everything needed

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. According to the manufacturer, the Model Set contains the basic paints, a brush and glue; other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. The Ar E.555 was a project for a long-range jet bomber that was not built. The kit belongs to the P-Series line devoted to exactly such studies, so both the markings and the performance are imagined.

An aircraft that has neither a separate fuselage nor conventional tail surfaces, and in which one connected lifting surface carries out the whole lifting and control function. The E.555 project was designed in exactly this way.

It is not stated here. The parts list and the build sequence are given in the instructions enclosed in the box.

There are not many parts and the build is straightforward, but the large smooth surfaces forgive nothing. It is worth filling and sanding back the joints and spraying in thin coats.
