Prepping some Emil’s
Not starting another build, just some prepping
This thread is as explained earlier just to give a minor hint or whatever on the world of – mostly – 1/48 109’s. And as I have quite a few Tamiya 109E in my stash, I took the time today to start up on some preparing of the base kits for future use.
One thing that I like to do on these kits is the thinning of the upper edge of the cowl. In almost every photo you can find of an Emil there is a very small gap at the top
The simple solution is to thin the rear edge a lot, and perhaps just a few swipes of a fine sanding stick on the “nose” of the plane when it is assembled
A lot closer – still needs a bit of work, but as a preparation it will suffice.
I also started to open the intake to the cooling air for the spark plugs
It still needs a lot of work, but this is where I got to today
next up on this topic is anyones guess – perhaps some more on the Emils?
