That's a K&C Arado 196 Floatplane, made in 2007. I think its 1 of 5 made.

whats the story on the f-86? when was that released? that's one of my all time favorites paired up with the mig 15

That's the only Sabre made with a clear canopy and open cockpit detail. When K&C first relaunched the wood warbirds, Andy offered it to me in the markings of the Japan Defense Force. I told him I would prefer it in USAF Korean War markings, and he had it repainted for me.

Both F86 Sabres and MiG 15's were done in the mid-1990's, also in very limited quantities, no more than 5 of each.

I'm thinking the more up to date F 86 was made in 2007/2008 timeframe, AIR 028. Only one was made. A lot of these Connoisseur editions were made as one or twos.

Here's another photo courtesy of K & C. I maintain a photo library of all K & C planes issued since the line was re-launched.

You may be right, but I remember it being right after the new warbirds were relaunched. I will have to check the certificate that came with it to know for sure.

 

[jazzeum]

I'm sure your right. I'm thinking that was 2007 but can't really remember for sure.

Lots of beautiful aircraft on this thread. Congratulations on gtting that gorgeous He-111, Mario. {bravo}} -- Al

Mario,
Your He 111 is fantastic. It's amazing the detail they've gotten out of a piece of wood.
Louis and Brad,
Thanks for posting up the extra pics. As you say, the cockpit detailing is nothing short of superb.
Cheers
Simon

Thanks All and Simon.

I feel a bit guilty looking at this discussion, the warbird and other books were almost complete in 2009 but have had some issues my end so sorry for not getting them out. Here is a pic of the Arado ...... hope to get round to finishing them later this year, or next, or .......

Kevin,

There is no need to feel guilty. You have had bigger concerns than publishing a book on our hobby these last couple of years. I am just hoping that you will be well enough to visit soon. After all, the Heco Tinplate stuff is much lighter and easier to carry down to the back yard, so I won't be nearly as exhausted when we do the photography for the next project . . . :wink2:

 

[Louis Badolato]

I was knocking about in my computer this morning, and I came across a couple of test photos Kevin (Panda1gen) took when preparing for the photo shoot for the Warbirds volume of the K&C books. I forwarded them to Brad with a polite request that he post them on this thread.:smile2:

 

[Sentaapua]

Kevin and Louis,

I want to take this chance of having you both on the same thread to congratulate you for what has been already published! Kevin, take all the time you need for the warbirds, we don`t mind waiting to see another masterpiece!

Mario,

Congratulations! You just left me even more anxious... It seems the Czech Republic is closer to Hong-Kong than Brazil...^&grin
