  1. 109s look cool in this livery, and this one looks great.

  2. A wonderful result, Hans Peter!

  3. That is a fine looking Emil, Hans Peter @messerschmitt

  4. Very nice! Those Swiss markings are a real standout on the Emil. Well done.

  5. Nice build. You must have had access to that aircraft's records to get that detailed information. Interesting.

  6. Hello Chas, yes I built the model from the book "Messerschmitt, a piece of Swiss history", it is highly recommended, it is also available in English
