i salvaged these from a very small scale diecast ship. it took me a few just to realize they were planes, then another to see they had pontoons. they were mounted mid ship with a bunch of life boats.
they are tiny about 1/2" x 1/2"

I'm guessing they are the Arado AR 196. https://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/RauchGeorgV/13194.htm https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/arado-ar-196-a-5/nasm_A19610128000 |

"Production Ar 196 floatplanes flew well-armed with one 20 mm MG FF cannon in each wing, a 7.9mm MG 17 forward-firing machine gun in the fuselage nose, and one or two 7.9mm flexible guns in the aft cockpit. The floatplane could also haul a 50 kg (110 lb) bomb under each wing." from the image i was wondering is it was tied down or "sling shot" launched. "they were more interested in the catapult system used to launch the floatplane rather than the Ar 196" thanks again! i'm thinking of trying to make that little container into a sky dio
