ATR-72 Arkia in 1:72
Hello all
There are two great designers, Hermercraft (Edwin Rodriguez) and CityCraft (Mario Solorzano) They both design beautiful aircraft models and share them for free. They joined together to design the ATR-42 and ATR-72 models. They published them as white models, w/o any livery and builders around the world repaint them. This is my attempt. I repainted the ATR-72 into Israeli Arkia livery. This airline together with EL-AL and Israir are the main airlines in Israel. The model is designed exceptionally well. Only two things bother me. One is the main landing gear cowling is very demanding design.It is very intricate to form it and glue this part to the fuselage. Second thing is that the gluing tabs in the front parts should be glued to a smaller part and inserted into larger part. This is not comfortable for me. So I made my own tabs. Probably it's only for me. For now the build is quite eazy. Parts fit is perfect. Instructions are made as video on YouTube which is good. So, thanks for design, Edwin and Mario Last edited by Boris; 12-24-2023 at 12:04 AM. |

This is a very interesting model. Only the landing gear cowling and engines are a bit intricate

Crisp job with the livery! And nicely done with the construction so far, it looks like you are doing great with the integrated glue tabs.
I'm about to make a downscale of the slightly simpler Murph's Models ATR 72. Though it is nice that CityCraft/Hermercraft offer their plans in 1/120 as well as 1/72. |
