A note:

You may assemble the engines onto the fuselage first and then the T tail or tail first and then engines. I did it both ways and got easy access to the assembly parts.

The ComAir version is coming together very well. Great job Isaac.

I like the tail livery with the diagonal ComAir logo. Very good job, Isaac and Gary!

Wasn't this the type of plane involved in the tragic Blue Grass Airport accident some years ago?

Yes, this was the type involved in the accident.


Very unfortunate events in which the crew got onto the shorter and the wrong runway.

NOW that's a collection!

The wheels are laminated cardstock that was turned on a Dremel rotary tool and sanded to size and shape.



It was then painted


I elected to use wood dowels and paperclip segments for the struts because they are not really fully visible or worthy of detail at this scale.



Also, I added the wing flap actuators covers

Only thing left were the small antennas and that is all.


Here are some pics on my workbench.







Relatively easy build that can be modified if needed in techniques and order of assembly.

I did have some areas I had to re laminate because the parts sort of got a bit indented in some areas.

Isaac,


You did another fantastic build. Any issues you had definitely don't show on the final model.

It's time for a better background as this one has been used for the past 10 years or so.


Here is the ComAir CRJ-200
