ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

[Boris]

Good to see you back on this project. That's a great looking engine.

I will finish this model. Just need some more time....

Hello all
I got the second engine done.
For now fit is great, my repaint seems to be correct

 

[Boris]

Howdy all
And I have the rotating propellers ready.
There is a design issue. The propellers in this plane rotate counterclockwise, so the propeller blade should have its edge with smaller diameter face left when the blade in top position, looking at the nose of the plane. I will fix this thing in drawings.

I love those engine!! I could see them being used for some fantasy type craft. Well done!

Well, actually, Arkia stopped using these ATR-72-500 in 2017. So, it is not a fantasy, it's history
But, there is a new airline, called Air Haifa. They are using newer ATR-72-600 exclusively. Which brings me ideas, since I was living in Haifa for some time

In reference to the engine parts you assembled, I was thinking of kit bashing some kind of fantasy flying machine, those engines would be great

Oh, actually the real engines are very nice-looking. Like all French/Italian things.

I must admit that the French, English and Italians know how to make some beautiful planes and cars.
