Marcel Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) No, not a RAF captured Emil, but a 1941 Royal Yugoslav Air Force Messerschmitt. I bought the Special Hobby "Simple Set" boxing plus their masks and I am also going to use some Eduard PE parts. I have the Lift Here decals (somewhere) to build a Me 109 (yes, they used Me instead of Bf) coded L-52 from the short "April war" 1941.

Marcel Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Many (and I mean MANY) years ago I built a Tamiya Emil in 1/72. This time I started with the wings The Wings Well wrong link 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I would say the interior is OK, going to close the fuselage. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Nicely done - are the slats separate in the kit or did you have to cut them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 The slats are separate and can be positioned open or closed quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 That escalated quickly 🤣 I am waiting for a pair of resin exhausts so my Emil is not finished yet but I made quite a progress. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Were you aware that the ailerons drooped with flap extension? A small detail, to be sure, but one that gets missed on a lot of builds. See the linked article and scroll down to section 2.81 Ailerons, for details. IIRC, when the flaps were fully extended to 42 degrees, the ailerons drooped 11 degrees. Beginning with the Bf-109F, this feature was discontinued. Aileron droop coupled with flap extension was a very common feature on many German single and twin engine designs. We also had a detailed discussion on this topic a while back- you could look for it.

Marcel Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi Mike, yes and both the ailerons are dropped a bit. The kit parts are designed in that way and until you don’t remove the aileron and flap tabs there is only one way how to attach them. Well I am not a photographer so maybe it is not visible from my images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me sad. Pale blue eyes - well this pale blue is RLM 65 by AK Real Colors and it makes me happy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
