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.

My eye was caught by the super-crisp transparencies! Nice one.

[Hawker Typhoon]

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!

The craft of my dreams! this is inspired and inspiring work.

[Beaufighter Mk.21 Conversion]

Great result, and really informative photography. Thank you for posting!

[Battle of Britain Day: 605sqn fabric winged Hurricane]

I had to look twice to check the scale: great result!

[A-90 Eaglet (Project 904) (Zvezda 1:144)]

Superb! What a treat to find this. Thank you.

[Short S.1 Cockle]

That is a sweet result! Thank you for posting.

That's a little gem!

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

[1/700 Arado 196]

Wow!

[Belyaev OL-2]

Tidy result and very unusual subject. Thanks for posting!

[Airfix (Otaki) P 51 D in 1/48th Scale.]

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?

[1/72 Fujimi F4U-5N Corsair -- The Last Prop Fighter Ace?]

This is a really great build log! Great modelling and a masterclass in how to do it. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[RCAF Ventura Target Tug, Ford Flivver and Vampire now Finished.]

Just found this thread: the Ventura is gorgeous!

[Silver Beau,..... 1/72nd Hasegawa Beaufighter Mk.21 built as A8-196, EH-D of 31 Sqn, RAAF, Morotai, 1945]

Aha! Now the submarine beau makes sense. Good results!

 

[Mirage IIIO 1/32, Scratchbuild]

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.

 

[SBS 1/72nd Latecoere 28.3 "Comte de la Vaulx", resin kit]

Oh that's sweet!

 

[Fairey Barracuda 1/48th]

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.

[1:32nd scale Roland D.VIa]

Superb! Bravo!

[McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 Travel Agency Model repainted 1/100 Fratelli Cesana]

That's a very attractive result, thank you for sharing. What material was it made from?

 

[Airfix 1/72 Sea King / Revell Roxter fusion]

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

[1/72 Sentinel AEW.1 (Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter AWI) - inspired by Freightdog's 1/144 conversion kit]

Very interesting project! You seem to have good results with the 3D printing: which material are you using?
