While Lufthansa livery makes financial sense for Revell, I prefer the earlier Air Dolomiti boxing for its more interesting colours:

I would agree with that Jess, the Air Dolomiti livery looks very good and suites the airframe.

Great choice of liveries there Jonathan. I think my wallet might just become a little lighter this evening

With a little work the 195 fuselage can be shortened to make a 190. Thats my plan. I have kits and all the Nazca decals to make a Jet Blue e190 fleet...someday...


I have flown on these planes numerous times in recent years. Very nice ride.

I might be up for a group build of this kit, but i dont imagine we would get many participants.

If you can stand to wait, Revell will be issuing a kit of the E-190 in the future.
