I have an ongoing, long-term project to build a model of an aircraft from each of the current and former European “flag carrier” airlines. Here are the latest additions - the Revell E190 and BPK CRJ-100 representing Bulgaria Air and Adria (Slovenia) respectively. Bulgaria Air Embraer E190 This is my first build of the Revell kit. It didn’t give me any major problems although I had to straighten the warped winglets (hairdryer and care) and fill a few sink marks particularly inside the engine cowlings. Strangely the right engine was a perfect fit to the wing but the left one was a complete p.i.t.a., exactly the same as the Zvezda Tu-204 I built last year, an odd coincidence. Pitots, aerials and some other small parts came from an ExtraTech PE set. Paint is the usual Halfords combination of Appliance White and Racking Grey with Tamiya and Revell metallics. Decals are by BOA with Authentic Airliners windows and details from the excellent kit sheet. I know the livery might be a bit white for some tastes but personally I think it rather suits the E190. Adria Canadair CRJ-100 I used the earlier version of the BPK 1/144 kit before they introduced the full transparent fuselage. It was another easy build without any significant issues. A couple of small parts are a bit crude, particularly the nose wheels, but overall it is a lovely little kit which I enjoyed building. Paint is also Appliance White with Tamiya and Revell metallics. Decals are by Nazca with an Authentic Airliners windscreen and a couple of details from the kit sheet. Anything from the kit sheet needs a coat of Microscale Liquid Decal Film first. If the rumours of a BPK 1/144 Boeing 757 turn out to be true and it’s as good as the little CRJ we are in for a real treat Thanks for looking and as always constructive criticism is welcome. Dave G -
Hello, Started my excellent BPK CRJ-100 recently, before I knew it I had the wings on and was ready to address the seams! The fit is really good and the option for using the clear parts is very smart thinking from this manufacturer. As evident in the pics I wont be using the clear approach as window decals etc. are just fine with me in this scale. I usually would clean up the seams on the fuselage before attaching the wings, but I was having so much fun I just said the heck with it and started gluing parts. So there is a bit more work to do before paint. Here are some shots.

Hello, I'm building the very nice 1/144 BPK CRJ and was needing help finding some good shots of this AC. Really could use a pic of the intake vent at the base of the tail if possible. Many thanks! Ryan
