Now you can proceed with colouring the two seaplanes. Carefully observe the drawing presented in the picture above to identify the areas of colouring. For the lower part of the plane, you will need to use a RLM 65 blue grey paint; while for the upper part, you
will need a RLM 73 green paint. With Ral 7001 grey, paint the cockpit of the plane and the three propellers and the machine gun with matt black paint. Once dry, apply a brush with the green colour RLM 73 only on the upper part of the front supports of the floats
and with RLM 72 dark green for the camouflage colouring steps following the colour areas shown in the picture in the drawing. Repeat the colouring steps for the second Arado as well. When the colour is perfectly dry, you can proceed with setting up the seaplanes
with the application of the transfers which you can choose from the four proposals included on the sheet. Observe the pictures above to identify the correct positioning and the photos which you can find in the next steps. In the same way, apply the transfers to the
Arado with the bended wings. When these are also completely dry, apply an opaque transparent protective spray paint on the entire surface of the seaplanes in order to uniform the colour and the transfers.

Prepare the second canopy and paint the structures of the slides of the catapults
prepared in the previous stages entirely with Ral 7001 grey.
1001
Apply the threads to the edges of the canopy as shown; trim the excesses. With
your fingers, make the strips adhere well to the canopy.
1000
Take the green adhesive threads to cover the frame of the transparent plastic
canopy 2590 (sprue P18) of the Arado. To detach the threads, cut the two heads with
the tip of a cutter. Separate from the relative adhesive sheet.
