Two very interesting arrivals for me today
two birds of the late
Nordeste Linhas Aéreas, a Brazilian regional airline which was absorbed by Rio-Sul (another Brazilian regional) and later both were taken over by Varig... which then ceased operations in 2006, ending these brands all together. Anyways! Here's a Boeing 737-500 PT-MNC and Fokker 50 PT-MNA.
Both are fully 3D printed models.
They were printed, assembled and customized by a very skilled fellow here in my city. His name is Jonas. Follow him on Instagram: @jacdev3d

Overall, the B737-500 looks great. I can see room for improvements, though: the nose gear could be a bit shorter (or maybe make the main gears longer), to level up the fuselage. Fortunately, she's no tail sitter, like some JC Wings models. I might also talk to Jonas about the possibility of adding antennas.
The quality of the decals (also made by Jonas) is wonderful. Window line could be a bit higher, though.

Now the Fokker... this one is simply impressive, in my opinion.

The only F50 mould in 1:400 was made by JC Wings and there were very few releases, and quite hard to find.
This 3D printed version have absolutely better gears than the JC, in my opinion. The propeller blades are also very thin, really wonderful!

I'm very happy with these two and I'll surely order more models from him in a near future. My wallet will feel the pain
