Than sand the window rows flat. Yes, that is wet sand with fine grade 800 grid sanding paper!
 

 

      The cockpit window was installed and masked. Let dry and putty the gaps and edges. The fit is not bad but some tidying up is needed. Sand wet but try really to avoid any spills that creep inside the cockpit. Sand flush....
 
 

 
... and the result.
 

The main P-95 fuselage was now ready.

The P-95 wing parts and engine nacelles were assembled as a sub-assembly. Sanding and puttying is needed. The forward gear doors are moulded closed.

Note the small pair of landing lights in wing leading edges, these are provided parts #80 in the kit. Sand flush and polish up.
 

Regarding the horizontal stabilizers (see kit STEP 6), I found that their setting on the EMBRAER Bandeirante family varied in dihedral angle. Early aircraft had horizontal stabilizers, later on these were installed at 10 degree dihedral and than the stabilizer elevators than were seen drooped on parked aircraft. The P-95B also had these at a 10 degree dihedral "up" angle.

So on the kit stabilizer' parts the inscribed panels/ elevator hinge lines were scored deeper and cut in; the rear elevators / trailing flaps could than be drooped down. (I forgot to make a photo but can be seen on the finished model).

The 2 large sub-assemblies fuselage and wing were joined with putty and sanding at the wing-fuselage joints as well. I also still needed to putty the vertical tail.
 
 



Rescribe some panellines, particularly at the fuselage spine. Note the special window and hatch above the wing. 
 
 

There is a cover/ metal sheet plate at a starboard window, this plate was suggested with thin masking foil and will be oversprayed later.
 

All windows were now all masked with the masking set provided in this SOVA-M kit. The masks are really good and save a lot of masking time.
 
The search light fairing at the starboard wing was set.

 

The lower surfaces were first airbrushed Gunze Sangyo Mr.Hobby H338 acrylic paint which is about FS36495. Let dry and than mask the lower surfaces before the upper grey was airbrushed.
 
 
 
The upper grey colour was picked as FS36440 gull grey for which Gunze Sangyo H325 acrylic was airbrushed.
 
 

All looked fine. 

The leading edges of outboard wing and stabilizers were masked and airbrushed mat black.
 

Painting the main model surfaces was completed and most were already glossy so ready for decalling.....

Decalling was completed. The smaller wing fences were set and the wing leading edge landing lights maks removed.

The model was not really weathered, this is a well maintained patrol aircraft. Only the recessed flap lines got a darker pencil stripe. Or use some wash.

A final airbrushed acrylic coat of Johnson Future / Pledge thinned with 10% Gunze Sangyo Mr.Color Leveling Thinner was airbrushed. This will protect the decals and gives a nice gloss sheen. 

    

 
Next the smaller parts were set as per kit. The landing gear was installed and the small lower flap hinge parts. The gear struts were painted light grey and the wheel hubs aluminium. These were all hand painted.

I saw on internet photos that there are some variations and antenna layout and also the location of the pitot tubes.

The horizontal stabilizers with drooped elevators had been prepared earlier and now installed at about 10 degree dihedral. I neede to dril the pen hole a bit bigger. (Please note that that on early Bandeirante stabilizers were horizontal).

 

 
The P-95 has a long wire antenna, but there are variations in individual P-95. The wire antenna was added made with flex PRYM line and set with superglue.
     

 
The small ECM detectors #88 and #89 were painted black; the fronts got 2 chrome painted disks with a chrome pen. The parts were installed.
 
 

  
Two window wipers were made from black stretched sprue and set besides the front cockpit window frames. The pitot tubes were installed but please note that their location varied as seen on real photos; some P-95B had the pitots set higher on the anti-glare panel.

The small anti-collision ligths are clear kit parts and were set. At the wing tip tanks, port/left painted clear red and at right clear blue.

At aileron ends, stabilizer and tail rudder top 5 pairs of static dischargers were set made from EZ line (or use thin black stretched sprue). 

That completed this nice 1/72 EMBRAER P-95B model.
 
TIME BREAKDOWN: 
basic assembly 3 hours, windows and polishing 3 hours, sanding and base model 3 hours, masking and painting 3 hours, decalling and finishing 8 hours; total = 20 hours on the model. (excluding 3 hours research)
