Shark's or Tiger's Mouth Markings

[PR19_Kit]

Looks like it may be this aircraft, the prototype Embraer E190-E2, with a repaint. The scheme and markings aft of the crew door are pretty much identical.



Even without the shark or tiger mouth the real aircraft carried a terrific colour scheme. And Revell do a 1/144 kit of the 190 too. 





Pics filched from various places on the net.....

Funky!!  Somehow I missed the big E190 on the side.    Looks like it is indeed real then, not bad! 

Looks like it has had tigers AND sharks on it so perfect fit in here.   


I have that Revell 190 kit. Got the 195, too, it showed up a few days ago. It's really tempting to open one up and get after it.  ... .      That reminds me, I need to hit the stash thread. I have a whole mess 'o kits to put in there from the last month.

Not exactly shark or tiger teeth --- but;

Impressive artwork

It's not really a shark mouth, but I somehow like the disturbing look and concept behind this:

Another interesting alternative: tail art!

How about a whale theme?

It's certainly got to be one of the cutest looking planes, some of the pictures even enhance the 'cuteness' further . Mind you some of the side on pictures do make it it look extremely 'flying-brick' like!

Having watched them on approach at Airbus Hawarden in the past, they seem to have the flying characteristics of flying bricks too! A 'positive' landing would seem to be SOP for Belugas.

I must build one one day, a standard one I mean, I've already done a mega-stretched one.

That is surely more of a Bottle Nosed Dolphin theme.
Mind you it is a lovely photo.

I think that's their new one, based on the A330.

Yes, indeed. It has proper winglets and the extra ventral strakes under the tail of the Beluga XL. Plus Rolls Royce engine apparently.

I find that the big letters 'XL' on the side are quite a useful identification feature as well!

Which side? You can't see them in that pic.
