Hi,I'm in need of some help!!! I am in the process of building an Arado 196 in 1/72nd scale and was thinking of making the catapult from Battleship Tirpitz or Bismarck and putting the Arado on the catapult as a nice display.
So with that in mind,I would like to know if anyone of you guys know where I could get some detailed technical drawings for the catapult so I can scratch build it in 1/72nd scale.
Also I have tried steelnavy.com but now answer, Google nothing really either. There as got to be something out there to do this project! Does anyone make a 1/72nd scale catapult for the Arado 196? I know they make one in 1/32nd why not 72nd?!! It would be of great help if I knew where to find such a item.
Thank you.

What about White Ensign they do an etch set of the catapult for Bismark/Tirpitz,think White Ensign sold their stock years ago and it is now owned by an American company.
