Roden 427 Arado Ar 68E 1:48

In 1936, the head of the fighter action was the main character of the Personal World Ernst Udet, who made a good statement about the new development of Arado. He arranged an air battle between He51 and Ar68 himself, piloting a new plane, during which the benefits of the Ar68 reach more obvious. With the same maximum speed, the Ar68 had much better maneuverability and was much more stable in flight.

In 1937, when the fighter began to enter the ranks of the Luftwaffe, the biplane era steadily reached to its logical conclusion. It was Ar68 that became the latest of Luftwaffe fighter planes. Together with other up-to-date developments, he (in three units) was sent to a true military trial of a civil conflict in Spain, where he was used not only as a fighter, but also as a lightweight strike aircraft to support ground troops. And only the appearance of the Republican troops of the newest Soviet I-16 forced the military not to direct Ar68 in maneuverable combat, since the advantage of a monoplan fighter, above all at speed, was more than substantial.

In the ranks of the Luftwaffe Ar68 were transferred to the training units in the pre-war years, but some of them were used as night fighters until the end of 1941.
