Trumpeter 03452 Ar 196 Compact 1:700 Seaplane Model  [TP03452]

Overview of the Trumpeter 03452 Ar 196 1:700 Scale Kit

The Trumpeter 03452 Ar 196 captures the silhouette of the WWII German reconnaissance seaplane in a small 1:700 package. Its subject matter is well suited to naval model scenes, offering a historically informed miniature of a common Kriegsmarine spotter aircraft.

Detail Work at Small Scale

The kit comprises 48 plastic parts, engineered to represent the Ar 196 accurately at a tiny scale. Final dimensions are 16.3mm in length and a 17.7mm wingspan, delivering a compact but recognisable aircraft that complements ship models and harbour layouts.

Build Approach and Finish

Trumpeter supplies this Ar 196 as a plastic-only kit with no resin, metal, or etched parts, which keeps the build route direct and workshop-friendly. The simplified parts list helps modellers focus on fit and paint, producing a tidy display model once complete.
