Arado Ar 196A-3 1:32 1 Man Army 32DET057

A high-quality set of airbrush masks (High Definition Airbrush Masks) designed for the Arado Ar 196A-3 aircraft model in 1:32 scale, dedicated to Revell kits. The product from the Belgian brand 1 Man Army serves as an alternative to traditional decals, allowing markings to be applied directly with paint, which guarantees a more realistic final effect without visible edges of the decal film.

Set features:

• Includes masks for applying the main national markings (Balkenkreuz) and tail insignia.
• The set includes masks for side numbers of the fuselage for various units, including Ar 196 A3 111./KG100 (Kalamaki, Crete) and Ar 196 A3 Bordfliegergruppe 196 from the battleship Tirpitz.
• The set contains detailed masks for operational inscriptions (stencils), including fuel triangles, float markings, serial numbers (Werknummer), and technical instructions.
• The masking material is flexible, does not deform, and allows for precise fitting to the panel lines and rivets of the model.
• Inside the package, there is a detailed instruction for the placement of all elements.

Historical background:

The Arado Ar 196 was the primary reconnaissance seaplane of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. The A-3 version was one of the most widely produced, characterized by enhanced armament and improved radio equipment. These aircraft operated from both shore bases and the decks of the largest German ships, such as the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz, playing a key role in maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare.
