The Arado Ar 96B-3, which was armed version of this plane, served for gunnery training with operational training units. The identical parts of this model are accompanied by the decal sheet with markings for three machines in RLM 02 grey. The first of them is VH+OZ / yellow 3, WNr.4326, which served with night training unit I./NJS 1 in Schleissheim, Germany. The other two machines flew in occupied France, Arado Ar 96B-3, black 4, belonged to 1./JG 107. This machine is interesting for some of its fuselage panels behind the engine being replaced and the wing root panels painted with fresh and darker colour. The 3/JG101 unit was based in Tarbes - Lourdes in southern France and used Arado Ar 96B-3, DQ+YD with markings of its previous user, the JFS 2 Flying School.
