Allo !
Hey gotta ask. What's the plane in the background ? It looks good too . T.B.
Miflyer;
The thing I liked about those Falcons .When new they were like a work of art .Even picking one up at Orly ( bare plane ) and flying it back to the States they were like a Ferrari among Chevies .
Every joint inside was so perfect . The plane was a breeze to work on . The memories of that plane are all good . T.B.
That is a great job you've done. The decals are or can be difficult. You make it look easy. Very nice project!

Waiting for the decals to set - try to touch up the wheels, then she'll get a coat of future
This is one beautiful build!
The decals come with deicer boots! Cleaned them up. These decals are really nice. Got a few on
Kind of like doing a wash then? But with white.
BTW - Decals came in and they look great. They are from DRAW decal and are the continuous film type. Hope to get to decaling tonight.
That makes sense - I'll give it a try. My landing gear isn't looking too good to date!
I got the notice that my decals shipped - good news!
Added the horizontal stabilizers and painted the de-icing boots - they need a bit of touchup. Also did the black on the nacelles.
keavdogHow do you guys paint 1/144 scale tires and wheels? I'm on my 3rd round of touching up and considering stripping and starting over!
On small wheels I like to stick wheel/tire on some axle like a toothpick and brush paint the tire. I brace my painting hands/fingers on something and twirl the axle while I paint. The rotation of the tire helps keep the demarkation line even.

Looking good. I've got that kit as well but haven't decided on a scheme yet. I don't like the kit schemes. Going to be following your build.

A good friend of mine is an airframe tech and he posted a few pics of an ATR 42 in FedEx livery. I got inspired and got the Italeri Kit and ordered the decals from DRAW.
Kit is under way - haven't got the decals yet.
Photos show subtle outlines of the passenger windows, but painted over. I spoke with my friend and he said they put a patch panel over the windows and seal them. They have to be redone every 4-8 years.
The Italeri kit comes with the windows which I installed and filled - mostly to achieve the look. Here's a good shot ( https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KAjjscHtqmE/maxresdefault.jpg )
Nice little Kit - coming along. First coat of gloss white.
I used to use gunze sangyo acrylics. This is my first time using Mr Color - different animal for sure.
Anyhow - I'll post a few pics here and there :)
