Reini78 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 To have a full Schwarm of Emils, my dad started now a fourth one using the Airfix kit, don´t know which scheme yet.

Fit of the Tamiya is better and the Airfix plastic and panel lines are somehow "crude". But as I said, not a bad kit. Better as the Hasegawa Emil my dad builds at the moment...

Paul J Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Coming along. Wasn't that the unit that had a disagreement with higher ups and had the swastikas removed from the fins for a short while? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they partly removed the swastika and wore a red cowl band instead of the ace of spades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 My dad shortened the way too long "storch" legs about 2-3mm. Brake lines added with plastic rods and lead wire. DSC_0004 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr Airfix got the Emil square canopy wrong by molding a middle strut. Therefore my dad turns to the kit´s correct rounded canopy and changes the scheme again. DSC_0005 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr Gonna do "black 8", which is most probably an E-1, can´t see it exactly on the pics.
