Here is the first aircraft to successfully leave my work bench. This is the first in a series of two Emils I’m building, which were piloted by Adolf Galland. This is his Battle of Britain aircraft. The next will be his Battle of France aircraft.








Thank you so much!! The 109E is my favorite aircraft and I’m glad I could do old Emil some justice on this build.mustang1989 wrote:What a good lookin' crate Kenny! I've got a special place in my heart for the 109 family and this one's definitely one for the books man. Great paint, weathering and details.

Mostrich- Thank you! The more I read his autobiography, the more I admire the man. Yes, he shot down a lot of our allies, but underneath that, he had a very deep humanity, and he was a courageous, honorable man. He told it to Göring like it is a few times, and that takes balls. And as I was building this and reading about it, I had that thought “Man. I hope Galland would like what I’m doing with this.” Thank you for validating that. I enjoyed this build very much.mostrich wrote:I'm sure Mr. Galland would be pleased by this rendition of one of his kites. You have an eye for the priorities in modeling and it shows.
You're good and on your way for getting great at it!
