It does have it's limits. As you could tell, it's slow, and tight, but that could be adjusted. You also have to switch sides to open and close the wings.

Cooooool, will this one be sold to the public?

**WAGliderGuy** · #**4864** 05-25-2016, 05:27 PM

An ERJ! I would love to buy it if its available to the public.

The Embraer 175 has been sent off to the commissioner so he can produce a few hundred variants, then it should be available on my site.

Onward to the next model.

I might have gotten too ambitious with this one. Hope it doesn't Backfire on me...

Just my .02 zlotys here: I prefer models without every. single. panel. line. Often makes the model look cluttered and somewhat toylike, especially if the lines are black.

Thoughts from others?

With respect, I think that panel lines are necessary to make the model look like the real thing.

When I repaint a model, I try to de-emphasize the panel lines. I put them on with the thinnest line that will show up when printed and then I make them transparent to the point of just showing up. You have to remember in the real world there are not black lines around everything you see, they are only there if the object is casting a hard shadow. Panel lines only show up as a shadow or a highlight if the object is uniformly painted. I do not like to use highlights because they are dependent on the light source and give a false impression is you are viewing from a position that has a conflicting light source.

So in short, panel line yes, heavy black ones no.
