WTB: Revell 1/72 Arado Ar-240 A-02

[RotorheadTX]

Message header pretty much explains it; I'm after a copy of the Revell 1/72 Arado Ar-240 A-02 (the original version of the kit with the funky ducted prop spinners). Kits of the Ar-240C night-fighter are relatively common, but the A-02 seems as rare as rocking-horse-poo in the USA. Anyone have a copy that they are willing to part with??

TIA!!

I wouldn't mind finding one of those myself.  Like you said, most of the listings I found were for the C-02 version.  I found this one at a hobby store in Cape Coral, FL, but they want like $40 for it:

Yup, I had seen that, but I think the price is outrageous. If they like it that much, they can keep it!

Jim, thanks for the info - that should be a better deal than the first reply, but postage cost will be the big (?Q?). I'll have to contact them for more details.

Cheers!

these things turn up on ebay about every 2 months - just a suggestion

Hi
Sorry to spoil this but many years back I saw one of the stalls at the RAF Leuchars airshow selling these off for something really silly, i am sure they were £2.50 a piece but regretably didn't buy any as I would have had to throw one of my passengers out of the car to bring them home. Is this one not due for re-release at some point soon? considering they have released almost all other Luftwaffe kits recently it can only be a matter of time before this one comes back out?
Cheers

And you call yourself a modeller - where's is your dedication man?!

Can't remember where I got them from but I got a few of the nightfighter version each for the cost of a pint.....but not in a fancy bar....wasn't aware of any other version.....lovely little kit and a real bargain at the time
