Ar 96 colour sceme!
 

Hello!

I would like to built a model of this aircraft.

I would like your opinion about the nose. Is it yellow?

Thank You
Christian

Looks like standard overall 02 grey to me. I presume that is exhaust stain on the leading edge of the wheel cover.

Hi, Christian...

I'm inclined to agree that this is probably an overall RLM02 colour scheme. However, if you're looking for something a little more eye-catching, the attached can be found at http://wp.scn.ru/, under World War II 'Others' category. Select 'Arado Ar96' from the list on the left side and you'll be shown a nationalitly list of all the Ar96 users, and on the right side, click on the page number to access the individual colour plates.

Thumbnail shows a machine apparently based (or seen) at Tilsit-Weinhofen, 1944.

Regards...

Hello!
Thank You both for your help!
The pilot of this A/C was not quite sure but believed too, that it was grau overall except the underside, which was RLM 65 lightblue.
A friend has told me, that this one was coded DC + XL, so now i am building it to give the pilot as a present.

Best wishes

Christian
