Time for another civil build from me, it is the Revell E-190 in Alliance markings from Jamie.




This will be started in a couple of weeks after I return from NZ.

So I am back from my trip, I managed some time on the Embraer.

I started with some paint on the cockpit and wheel wells


The painted the rest of the fuselage only to realise I would be filling the cabin windows. I decided a different tack for the filling and taped the outsides and filled the windows openings with sprue glue.


They turned out ok, a few pin holes to deal with


The wings were also assembled, I had some issues with warped parts and flash but they were sorted quickly




The cockpit needs the seats and panel painted and then it can all be put together.



More to come.

The fuselage is together and wings and push fitted

I had made more progress on this one but had issues with the decals. The solution to set them was a tad dodgy and the ink ran


After I sealed the remainder of the original sheet I managed to wreck the logo decals with my big fat thumb.


Thanks to Jamie, he sent another set which saved my bacon. The replacement decals are going on fine now.

It is finished!

Nice one Ray. It's looking good!

Well, somehow this one managed 1st place in the airliners category at the Melbourne Model Expo last month. I am still surprised by it! I thought the other entries were better. Only the judges will know why they picked this one!

Congratulations!
