    back in the days of the website " il2center.com " it was on the list & reserved for the planned FB expansion " luft46 "

    well AEP ended up being the expansion instead but the Arado was never posted even as being started

    in those days of il2center , the planes were reserved left right & center by very enthusiastic people . . . . . . . . who totally failed at delivering the goods

    You may want to check your link to the picture, in that is not a picture of a F4u-4!

    You are right Tagert! The plane at the picture is not ugly! Indeed no F4u-4!

    This is definately one plane we should have had instead of the Go-229 for instance. But with all the reserved aircraft and no work done...

    I'd read the Arado was responsible for the first jet on jet action when it inflicted a modest ammount of damage on a parked Meteor in Belgium.

    I remember reading somewhere that Ar-234 made some high recon mission/s after Normandy landings. I may be wrong.
    The bridge at Remagen was quite an 'Erprobungs'-ground for jet bomber, though none of the bombs hit the target. I understand that bridge simply collapsed later, havin that many impacts wearing it down?
    Anyway, some models had rear shooting cannons like Me-410 but Arado was with a pilot periscope.
    Well, that could be nice addon but merely for eveyone with '1946' aspect IMHO.

    think the bridge may have been overloaded...
