From Hobbycraft in 1/48 scale, built OOTB painted with Humbrol, decals are from my spare parts box.

As the variant AR 234C never saw a combat mission and I want a more interesting paint scheme than the very dull Black Green proposed by Hobbycraft, I have just imagined a more appropriate paint scheme and a new combat Luftwaffe unit.

The model depicts a Luft 46 fictuous Arado 234c of an also factious Lutfwaffe Group; so this is a four jet engines Arado 234C of a former Stuka Group 4/StG 77 renamed Schelb.G77 for Schnell Bombardier Grup 77 based at Leck near the Danish border in August 1946.
