Arado Ar 196 in 1:48 from Italeri

It was a German multi-purpose seaplane that developed into the standard catapult on-board aircraft for capital ships and the most important float plane in Germany during World War II. Mainly used as an aircraft on board, it was also used as a reconnaissance aircraft and submarine hunter. (Wikipedia)
(Fun fact: The painting corresponds to that of the aircraft on board the cruiser Prinz Eugen - the ship was used as a test object in the atomic bomb tests in Bikini Atoll after the war)

I also filmed it and thanks to blue screen and After Effects managed to let it fly a bit :)

Very nice build! Honestly, have you tried to see if the model actually floats?
