Embraer KC-390
Sorry, no backstory. Built up from a combination of a 1/100 Transall, 1/144 747 wings and engines (thanks to Kit for those!), a pair of wing refuelling pods from Heritage Models and an awful lot of PSR. Paints from Vallejo and Tamya and Brazillian markings from DeathJester (thanks!).
This proved a very difficult realisation. I started it three times and on the third ended up with something reasonable. The two previous efforts were hopeless. An awful lot of cutting and shunting and fettling ended up, with a tube and a half of Milliput as what you see here.

Creative scaleorama. Heck of a Transall to KC-390 transition
Good you stuck with build. Putty followed by more putty and all that goes with it is a challenge.

I think Embraer has to build one, one day, first, Greg. From my understanding, it's still pretty much vapourware still.
