Herpa Embraer E195-E2 “Tech Lion” – PR-ZIQ 1/500 536370

The development of the 170 to 195 series, initially called ERJ, Embraer Regional Jet, finally confirmed Brazil’s Embraer as one of the big players in modern aircraft manufacturing, and it has been the market leader in the under 150 seat size category for years.

With numerous improvements and newly designed components, such as the wings and engines, Embraer achieved a considerable increase in efficiency and range with its new E-Jet generation. Three variants are being offered, the largest and currently most successful variant being the E195-E2. Embraer aggressively marketed the new E2 family as “profit hunters” sending the prototype aircraft around the world on a promotion tour. Already released by Herpa in 1/200 (item no. 571852), the spectacular “TechLion” follows suit as the first model of the new E2-Series in the 1/500 scale.
