When I was younger, I was (and still am) a huge fan of Tintin books (and Asterix, Lucky Luke and many others…)
The other day, I was reading the book “The Shooting Star”. The book today is somehow controversial, since it was written during the Second World War on occupied Belgium.
Controversial or not (that’s not the point here), the thing is that Tintin ship carries on board a yellow Arado Ar-196. I got interested and then I start to build it on yellow bricks.
Oddly enough, I ran out of yellow bricks (I never buy yellow, I hate yellow!) so I was forced (...or maybe not :D ) to build the camouflaged version.
Perhaps in the future, the F.E.R.S. floatplane might be built.

The Ar 196 was a shipboard reconnaissance low-wing monoplane aircraft built by the German firm Arado Arado Flugzeugwerke starting in 1936 and became the standard aircraft of the Kriegsmarine throughout World War II.
I have always admired the Arado Ar 196. The plane was loved by its pilots, who found it handled well both in the air and on the water. The plane is always linked to the legendary battleship Bismarck, performing reconnaissance missions for the battleship. Four Arado Ar 196 seaplanes were carried on board the Bismarck class, although a maximum number of six could be embarked. These were very robust and heavily armed single-engine aircraft with twin floats.
I always wanted to have an Arado Ar-196 with the Imperial Lego Colors. And here it is! It has also a very simple folding wing system just like the real plane.
I don´t know if I should make it with German markings. What do you think?
Hope you like it!

Arado E 555/1
Background:
15 years ago, I went to a bookstore and I found a book called: “Luftwaffe Secret Projects; Strategic Bombers 1935-1945” written by Dieter Herwig and Heinz Rode.
The book showed a series of German Bomber Projects developed during the Second World War, some of them still looking highly advanced in our days. On the book cover there was a fantastic and unique plane, the Arado E 555/1, flying over New York and attacked by two Lockheed Shooting Stars, somewhere in the year 1946...
Many many years later I finally bought the book but only a few months ago I finally got the courage to start building the bomber. However, since for so many years I wanted to build that plane, I made it on the Imperial Lego Air Force markings (but the camouflage and colours are exactly like the one on the book (as a tribute).

About the MOC:
The MOC features retractable landing gear (as usual), two rotating defensive gun turrets, cockpit for two pilots and opening bomb bay. The six engines are grouped together on the back over the wing.
Improvements:
I´m going to perform some improvements on the MOC; first an in-flight refuelling probe for long-range missions, improved armament (including forward firing guns (for ground and anti-ship missions), two hard-points under the wings (for guided missiles) and radar (probably a Lichtenstein type radar with their characteristic antennas). I’m also going to improve the tip of the wings to the correct angle, just like the real project.
The Real World Project story:
In early 1944 Arado was asked to compile design studies for a long-range jet powered bomber. Since the requirements were high speed, a bomb load of at least 4000 kg (8818 lbs) and a range of 5000 km (3107 miles), it was realized that the project could best be fulfilled by using a flying wing design with a laminar high speed profile. The number of designs eventually reached fifteen, and included strategic bombers, remote controlled weapons carriers and fighters.
The Arado Ar E.555-1 was constructed entirely of metal (both steel and Duraluminum), and was basically a flying wing with a short, circular cross section forward fuselage where the pressurized cockpit was located. There were two large vertical fins and rudders that sat 6.2 m (20' 4") from the centerline of the aircraft.
Power was to be provided by six BMW 003A, all located on the rear upper surface of the wing. Defensive armament consisted of two MK 103 30mm cannon in the wing roots near the cockpit, a remote controlled turret armed with two MG 151/20 20mm cannon located just behind the cockpit and a further two MG 151/20 20mm cannon in a remote controlled tail turret, which was controlled via a periscope in a pressurized weapons station behind the cockpit area. On December 28, 1944, Arado was ordered to cease all work on the E.555 series, to concentrate aircraft development and production on fighters.
The “LEGO” story:
With the development of the jet engine, speed grew impressible and it was obvious that the old propeller bombers had their days counted.
To survive the new threat posed by the new jet fighters, many new and highly advanced jet powered designs were considered, but although quite fast, they all suffered from the same problem… range. Moderately swept wings and first-generation fuel-thirsty jet engines weren’t the solution for the time.
Then, a small team appeared with an innovative idea, the flying wing. (A clean flying wing is sometimes presented as theoretically the most aerodynamically efficient (lowest drag) design configuration for a fixed wing aircraft. It also offered high structural efficiency for a given wing depth, leading to light weight and high fuel efficiency.)
Defensive armament was extremely light since the bomber relied on high altitude and speed to evade enemy fighters; two defensive turrets, each one equipped with two 20mm ENA-50 Auto-cannons. Maximum bomb load was 6000kg for long-range missions (although a maximum of 20 000kg could be carried if needed).
For almost a decade, the new bomber became the most important strategic bomber used by the Empire, performing increasingly dangerous missions as the Androvakians improved their fighter designs. Eventually, they were removed from frontline service and transformed into long-range tankers and for oceanic/anti-ship patrols.

It is thought WkNr484219 coded Black 38 was stationed with Jagdfliegerschule 3 (Stolp-Reitz) (Fighterschool), Jagdgeschwader No.103
At the end of WW2 WkNr484219 was surrendered to the allies and was allocated to the RAF and displayed at a RAF locations before finally going into the RAF Museum collection.
Displayed as an Aircraft of Gruppe 1, Jagdgeschwader No.54 Grunherz with the Geschwader greenheart and the 1st Gruppe shield of the City of Nurnberg where 1/JG54 was formed.

the Arado Ar-196 was a shipboard reconnaisance plane used by the German navy during WW2. It had a crew of two and was armed with one machinegun in the drive shaft, two autocannons in the wings and one machinegun behind the cockpit. It could also carry two 50 kg bombs.
Arado Ar 196 reconnaissance seaplane from WW2. It could belong to 1. Staffel Bordfliegergruppe 196 and be based on-board the Prinz Eugene or Tirpitz battleship.
A veces es necesario
que el campo muestre su vida.
¡No todo son flores y frutos!
El campo se queda seco
y hay que ararlo
y mantenerlo en reposo.
Ya brotará la vida
si en él guardas la simiente.
El invierno con su frío
sabe hacerla resistir
y envolverla en suave manto
que haga nacer su esperanza
y crecer como la espiga.
A veces es necesario
que el campo mire hacia el cielo
y crea y se vista
de esa belleza que el sol
deja brillar cuando atisba
que la tierra sólo entrega
aquello que puro guarda
para ofrecerlo en el fruto
que recoge el labrador.
¡Sólo la tierra labrada
sabe de pena y dolor!
