  Ar 234
I think a lot of people crash their Arados or are overwhelmed but it so don't try and fly it (or maybe lose the perk points and can no longer afford to fly it).
The keys of the Arado attack though are to set up nice and early outside of the enemy area, race in at top speed and drop your bombs in a single pass, then leaving at even higher speeds.
Often, if the enemy has made the mistake to take a formation of Arados instead of only a single, you can actually kill all 3 in one pass as an overshoot is terribly unlikely as you will all be travelling in the same direction at very high speeds.

  Arado Ar 234
The Arado Ar 234 Blitz was the world's first operational jet powered bomber, built by the Arado[?] company in the closing stages of World War II.
In the field it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be impossible to intercept.
Arado estimated a maximum speed of 780km/h (485mph), an operating altitude of almost 11,000m (36,000ft), and a range of 2,000km (1,250 miles).

 World War II Aircraft - Arado Ar 234 Blitz
Limited by fuel shortages, sporadic bomber missions continued, and in early March intensive Ar 234 strikes were flown against the bridge at Remagen.
Several night-fighter variants of the Ar 234 were developed, with two or three crewmen and air-intercept radar provided; the Ar 234C was configured to carry and launch a V-1 Buzz Bomb.
The basic Ar 234 was a single-place aircraft, with a streamlined fuselage and a high-mounted wing with underslung engine nacelles.

 Arado Flugzeugwerke at AllExperts
Arado Flugzeugwerke was originally established as the Warnemünde factory of the Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen firm.
Arado achieved early prominence as a supplier to the Luftwaffe with the Arado Ar 66, which became one of the standard Luftwaffe trainers right into World War II.
Perhaps Arado's most celebrated aircraft of the war was the Ar 234, the first jet-powered bomber.

Arado estimated a maximum speed of 780 km/h (485 mph), an operating altitude of almost 11,000 m (36,000 ft), and a range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles).
Since the aircraft was very slender and entirely filled with fuel tanks, there was no room for a bomb bay and the warload had to be carried on external racks.
The B models were slightly wider to hold the landing gear, and with added bomb load the plane would fly as slow as 660 km/h (410 mph).

 Don't Say You Weren't Warned - Building Hobbycraft 1/48 Arado Ar 234
Ar 234´s were helpful for the Germans as bombers and reconnaissance planes as well, yet on the whole it was a matter of too little too late.
The Ar 234´s destruction of the bridge at Remagen in March 1945 is the most memorable combat use of this plane, but beside bombing, the few recon Arados helped German commanders gather information about allied moves that could not be obtained with conventional aircraft.
The remaining Ar 234´s were of course highly sought by the Allies, a number of them were flight-tested and surely gave impulses towards post-war bomber development.

Arado was issued a contract for six prototypes of there E 370 in April 1942, with a further fourteen aircraft in December 1942.
To achieve this Arado proposed the aircraft would not have a conventional undercarriage, but take off using a three wheeled trolley and land by means of skids, so to making room in the fuselage for the fuel which would be needed.
At around the same time two Ar 234 prototypes V5 and V7 were sent to the Luftwaffe reconnaissance unit Ob.d.L.1 to evaluate the aircraft in the field, the first operational flight being on the 2/8/1944 with flights over the Allied beachhead in Normandy.

Prototypes for the more advanced Ar 234 D reconnaissance aircraft and bomber with provision for a second crewman were under construction but not completed at war's end.

 The Arado Ar-234
The Air Ministry wanted a range of 2,150 kilometers (1,340 miles), and so to reduce weight Arado proposed that the E370 would take off on a wheeled tricycle trolley that would be dropped by parachute once the aircraft took to the air.
Arado projected a maximum speed of 780 KPH (485 MPH), an operating altitude of almost 11,000 meters (36,000 feet), and a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles).
Arado also investigated a number of new-design, swept-wing follow-ons to the Ar-234, but since the company was overstretched to get the Ar-234 into production there were no resources to seriously pursue such projects.

 Gevechtsvliegtuigen, de Arado Ar 234 'Blitz'
In maart 1944 startte in een geheime fabriek bij de Tsjechische grens de productie van de Arado Ar 234 Blitz waaruit al snel een twee versie voor gewapende verkenning werd afgeleid, de Blitz B.1.
Van het Ar 234 basistype werd ook een bommenwerper-versie afgeleid, de Blitz B.2, die in grote aantallen werd gebouwd.
Enkele met de Ar 234 uitgeruste Luftwaffe escadrilles deden aanvallen op Engeland maar het meest roemruchte wapenfeit van de 'Blitz' bommenwerper was de inzet tegen de brug bij Remagen, waar Amerikaanse eenheden onder Generaal Patton voor het eerst de Rijn overstaken.

 Arado Ar-234b Twin Jet Recon Bomber - Online Exclusive - Model Airplane News   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Newly discovered records, however, show that German Arado Ar-234b jet reconnaissance bombers flew over the beaches—and over England—every day on photo recon missions, but their speed and altitude was such that they were not intercepted because Allied radar never picked them up.
In general, though, this Arado Ar-234b design is a good first twin since its performance is fast but honest, and its construction is basic.
The Arado was a very successful airplane, but it’s virtually unknown to modelers these days.

 The Arado Ar-234
The E370 was to be a sleek, high-winged aircraft with a pair of Junkers Jumo 004 turbojets, one under each wing.
The Air Ministry wanted a range of 2,150 kilometers (1,340 miles), and so to reduce weight, Arado proposed that the E370 would take off on a wheeled tricycle trolley that would be dropped on five parachutes take-off.
While the "Big Week" raids had spared Arado production facilities, as they were too far east and out of range, the following reshuffling and dispersal of production meant that resources originally planned for building new types of aircraft had to be reserved for manufacturing existing types.

 Hasegawa Ar 234 B "Blitz"
As the Mossie prototype took to the air in November 1940, the Arado Flugzeugwerke undertook a project at the request of the Reichsluftfhartministerium (RLM) to produce an aircraft with an intended purpose quite similar to that of the Mossie; an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft that was capable of avoiding interception because of its speed.
Like the Mossie, the Ar 234 was also found to be a highly effective and accurate bomber, limited only by the load it could carry.
Since the Ar 234 has a massive plexi-glass nose, you would expect to see a lot of cockpit detail, which you do, and you would expect a lot of detail in the cockpit, which the Hasegawa kit gives you.
