The nick isn't really a nickname, but a hard-earned, hard-proven title. well, more of a warning. Emil, his "real" name, doesn't come from a 109, but from Kästners famous kid's novel. I loved it when I was a kid and, well, still do. We gave it to him when we believed in his good character, long ago...
Hopes are high, dry-fitting looks good.
Touchy about his tiny pieces? I have no idea what you could possible be talking about... 🔍
Emil and the detectives. Loved it too and love that Sopwith. Great results! Thanks for posting this.

Wow! Great model, but the photography is brilliant. Those are scenes you could just step into. Thank you for posting.
Edit: got it: the diorama base is brilliant!

That is just... weird. And in some strange way, works!

p.s. I immediately starting thinking about a single-seater, with "modernized" canopy, etc...
Plus turbo props

Tidy result and very unusual subject. Thanks for posting!

From your introductory text, I was expecting a disaster, but this looks pretty tidy. Maybe you photographed it in a bad light 😕
What's going on with the metallic sheet on the undercarriage doors?

Nice even-grained lumber there! Sort of thing you'd make a wind tunnel or test tank model from. The central fuselage strategy makes sense: watching with interest.

Always intrigued by this one, as it's one of the earlier ones I built as a kid (Frog version). I'm mesmerised by the upper wing roundels - did you paint them on? Overall, the finish is spot-on, looks like photos of the real thing.

Neat bit of repurposing! How did you get the tail rotor to work? Enquiring minds want to know!

Brewster B-339E Buffalo Mk.I - Airfix
in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Posted
The Airfix Buffalo was one of my early kits, so I was immediately interested: as I scrolled through it put a smile on my face as you went through the small but necessary mods and started thinking this is fun; then I arrived at the end where you come to exactly the same conclusion. Bingo! Colours and finish look just right to me and I like the way the decals are integrated with the overall finish.
