Peil

and with this one, 10 “Emil’s” has left the kindergarten!

I know – I do not have the time to finish 10 Emil’s on top of all the other unfinished builds. But lets just say it is the journey that matters, not getting there. And after all, who would risk running out of things to do?

Well, it has been in line for quite a few years, and I figure with a lot of Tamiya 109E’s being converted, this one might just as well join the assembly line.

As can be seen, it is a pre-brexit conversion from Hannants.

Whenever the first update will come is anyones guess. You just have to tune in (or leave a comment to get mentioned in the update to get a headsup by email from iModeler)

This one will also be fun to watch, Erik (@airbum). I haven't even heard of most of the 109s you build, so it is always an education.

Another excellent entry and good start, my friend @airbum! Looking forward to it!

Nice progress, Erik @airbum
Those clamps look sufficiently strong, fingers crossed when you remove those.

Excellent progress, my friend @airbum! Let's hope those clamps will do.

@brummbaer, getting closer to adding the gerät, @johnb and @fiveten, they helped a lot, @gblair indeed!

Major parts assembly

Fuselage and wings assembled and mated

With the wings assembled it was time for the fuselage to be glued up.

The fuselage was then presented to the wing – with a piece of tape ensuring the angle was correct as the glue set.

Tailfeathers and legs next?

Great progress on this 109, Erik @airbum
Excellent taping skills

Looking good, Erik (@airbum). I always have trouble using tape to fix the dihedral in the wings, but you obviously know the secret. Vents look good.
