This book contains detailed instructions on building the Arado 196B 1/32 scale model aircraft from Revell. A full color version is available as a PDF download on my website along with a grayscale spiral bound version see glennhoovermodels.com. I take the model kit instructions from Revell and break them up into individual steps. I reorder the steps so that the small pieces (antennas, etc.) are assembled last which reduces the risk of damage when building the model. The steps are organized to insert the paint and decal steps in the best spot. I also incorporate an awesome base from ODG Studios, a dual float conversion and catapult from HpH in with Revell's instructions. The HpH steps are colored making them easy to skip if you just have the basic model. This book provides a little history of the Arado, photos of the model kit contents including the aftermarket items, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 633 steps and 105 figures that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each step instruction shows the source (i.e., either Revell or HpH's instruction) along with a block to mark that you completed the step. The major instruction sequence for this model is 1. Instrument Panels 2. Pilot Area 3. Interior Frame 4. Gunner Area 5. Fuselage 6. Engine 7. Tail Section 8. Wings 9. Paint and Decals 10. Main Float 11. Wing Floats 12. Base Stand (Kit and ODG) 13. Weapons 14. Canopy 15. Antenna 16. Propeller 17. Aftermarket Dual Float Kit 18. Aftermarket Catapult I provide an index of the individual sprue parts that show where in the book the part is mentioned. This index was a great way to make sure that no pieces were overlooked. Finally, there are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I did a lot of research and didn't see anything this detailed about a model build. Most articles or videos concentrate on parts of their build or just give a summary review. I wanted to go down to the piece level and take you thru the whole build. Anyway, I hope you find this book useful.
