embraer 195 "Citybird"

Spey_Phantom · December 29, 2016, 09:18:39 AM

lately, i have drawn away from all the Military action and set my mind on Civil aviation for a while.
as part of the updated Citybird fleet, i have started on a Revell 1/144 Embraer 195.
this kit was released earlier in 2016, and goes together very easely.

as for decals, im gonna use Skyline Decals its 1/200 Boeing 737 sheet.

in less then an hour, i made some great progress, this afternoon, the fuselage recieved a second layer of green

here's a progress pic from last night:

Yeah!! I love civil stuff more and more these days so I'll be following along with anticipation.

Is the fuselage OOB or has it been extended? Looks very long and sleek?

I also already had an eye on the kit for a conversion...

Looks like a long bird with little wings ! Look forward to seeing it come together.

Plot twist!!! The tailplanes are actually cannards, and main wings are the tailplanes, and we've yet to see the actual main wings.

Update:

just managed to get all the sub-assemblies built and painted.
the wings and engines need another layer and detailing, the fuselage is already fully painted and the first decals have been applied and sealed.

pics to follow soon...

Update picture:

fuselage has the first decals slapped on, wings need another layer of grey before being detailed/decaled

Coming together like a boss, now!

Oh yes Nils, I love that Citybird scheme!

It really suits the EMB 195 as well.
