The Arado "Ar 198", only 1 built in 1938. Funny thing. It did not fly well. A year later they gave it to Focke-Wulf (no better results) and from there it went to the Berlin Air Museum where I suppose it was destroyed with everything else in 1944. Nice 3-View here: richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/arado198_3v.jpg ;D |

Good! what was supposed to be its role? looks like a bomber or an scout plane.

A Scout plane and VIP transport I believe. See that glass belly. Called the "Ar 198" it might have been the successor of the famous Arado 196 used on ships since the late 30s. Imagine that on floats ;D

 Right you are Vin. This one had a seat in it´s glass belly. Would have been a nice place to be flown around. The whole truth about it here, incl. interior scheme: www.histaviation.com/Arado_Ar_198.html

This is one of those that makes me want to study gmax...just like the Henschcel 126 that replaced the Ar198.

I'm surprised Piglet hasn't rolled this one out....... looks like something he would do.
Cheers,
