Last one for the year

[rickshaw]

Embraer KC-390

Sorry, no backstory.   Built up from a combination of a 1/100 Transall, 1/144 747 wings and engines (thanks to Kit for those!), a pair of wing refuelling pods from Heritage Models and an awful lot of PSR.  Paints from Vallejo and Tamya and Brazillian markings from DeathJester (thanks!).







This proved a very difficult realisation.  I started it three times and on the third ended up with something reasonable.  The two previous efforts were hopeless.  An awful lot of cutting and shunting and fettling ended up, with a tube and a half of Milliput as what you see here.

If those are 1/144 747 wings and it's a 1/72 model it's a BIG 'un! 

It looks like a Brazilian C-1 but somewhat longer, nice thinking.

This seems to be the fastest cargo I've ever seen...

[Hobbes]

Well done! Do you have any 'in progress' pics?

The fuselage looks a bit squashed down, did you widen it?

[rickshaw]

Sorry, no in progress shots.  This has been "in build" now for about 2 years, off and on.  The fuselage was widened by 15mm.

Hard work paid off mate 

[Weaver]

Good result for all that effort - nice one! 

[Captain Canada]

Nice looking and ugly both at once !



Interesting for sure....the engines look kinda small tho.

Do we have a bravery award around here?  As a chop and putty guy myself, I can really appreciate what went into this.
