1/48 Arado Ar-68F-1

Roden - 1/48 Arado Ar-68F-1 The Arado Ar 68F-1 was a German multirole biplane developed in the mid-1930s, the main competitor to its contemporary the famous Heinkel He 51. At the time of its appearance, the aircraft displayed very good flight characteristics, but the rapid pace of technological progress and the introduction of monoplane fighters, such as the Bf 109, immediately pushed it like all other biplanes into the background, and therefore from the beginning the Arado Ar 68F mainly entered training units.
A small number of Arado Ar 68Fs were also flown by combat units, mostly in secondary theatres of WW2. The last few aircraft of this type were used in 1942.
