Broplan's
vacuum formed 1/72 ATR 72-500 kit, like my 42 this was also an Alitalia ATR
72-500 also with homemade masks/markings I changed the engine nacelles and
props. I also added an interior and scratch built the main gear legs
and, the wheels and gear bays as the kit is fairly basic, I didn't correct
everything, just what was obvious to me. Resin castings were used for the main
wheels are re-casts from spare parts. As well, the sponson and engine nacelles
are resin too.
The
graphics are painted on and the registration is old Letraset dry rub down
letters...I got the registration wrong for some reason but will fix when I can
All
paints are Tamiya acrylics.

I
bought 2 kits when I purchased the 42, because having never before built a
vac kit, I wanted some spares if I made any mistakes. I did do that but not
enough to warrant cutting up this second kit for parts. So, I built it as
well.
