That paint job certainly reminds me of the Vulcan.

Re: Kit's Arado E555......the German Vulkan?
I nearly bought one of these a few years ago but ultimately gave in to my, perhaps rather silly, rule of not building models of subjects that never got beyond the design stage. I must say it looks like a great kit with better interior detail than is often seen in kits of aircraft that actually flew. Great work.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Shaun, Revell have made a number of "Luft'46" kits. They are all very good and well worth picking up when you see them. I've built their Ho229 and also have this kit in the stash.
Kit, like what you've done with this and I look forward to seeing it completed!

Re: Kit's Arado E555......the German Vulkan?
This is an excellent build so far. The paintwork is so smooth and sharp!
I should get one of these someday.

Re: Kit's Arado E555......the German Vulkan?
Looking good so far.
I keep thinking about getting one to use as an alternative Raiders of the Lost Ark cargo plane. I did pick up the resin kit of the one used in the movie but thought it would be a neat contrast, kind of what if they had gone jet?

Re: Kit's Arado E555......the German Vulkan?
Thanks for the kind words
It is definitely a kit worth getting, no vices, well detailed and a relaxing side build when you're burned out and need a mojo boost, and being a whiff, whatever you do is not wrong Just make sure you put a LOT of weight in the wing leading edges

Saying this one is done now
Arado Ar555C-2 of 1/KG100 on Atlantic anti-shipping duties
Hell of a job dealing with silvering on the decals, not fun

It looks fab and still amazingly futuristic!
That's a fearsome pair of cannon mounted underwing!
