Reini78 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 My dad hasn´t built an Emil for a while now, so he decided to give the Swiss G-6 some company and build an E-3 too. Using the good old Tamiya kit with Cutting Edge decals. Won´t be an oob build because we found out, that the Swiss Emils differed from the German versions in some points, so some changes and adaptions have to be made.
