Arado Ar198

[Double T]

This has got to be the wackiest-looking plane I've seen in some time. First mention of this particular aircraft is a photo of a model in the latest issue of Finescale Modeler.
I can find little if anything on this subject...
Oh CHE!

Dear Tim,

the tgplanes.com community got to be something special, because God gave us Greg, and Greg gave us "GOT" ("Greg´s Obscure Types"), a list of rare, inspiring types we like to research.

A GOT topic about the Ar 198 already exists:

Yup, that's the rascal.
Great job Greg!

While I appreciate the accolades from the post, you may have noticed that Romantic Technofreak (RT) actually made the post with the links. All I did was to identify it and give the technical specifications. RT usually delves into the details with a true enthusiasm. He's a real researcher.

About the subject aircraft, to me it doesn’t look any worse than a few other observation oddities, such as:

1) Curtiss SO3C-3 Seamew
2) Curtiss-Wright O-52 Owl
3) Dewoitine HD 730/731
4) Focke Wulf FW 189
5) Heston JC.6 … just weird!
6) Letov S-50
7) LWS.3 Mewa
8) North American O-47 (very close to the Ar.198)
9) Praga E-51
10) Rogozarski R-313
11) Siebel Si 200
12) Yokosuka R2Y
