Thanks, Michal! I've been waiting for this too long. From what I see, it could be arguably the best quarterscale Emil. I intend to do a comparative review, but first I have to buy one form Eduard. Will they offer the overtrees as well? I guess no, because they would be gone in a minute!

All the best,
Entoni

Hi Michal

Thanks for the News. Yep - it looks a real beauty! And I particularly like the fact they've gone for the relatively seldom-kitted 'E-1 as the first release.

All the best

The kit looks good but and should be a straighforward build but to be honest I'm a bit sceptic. Eduard have simply scaled down their 1/32 kit without even trying to reduce the "fatal flaws". We'll know definitely when the kit will be available on the market. On the pictures it still looks like a Bf 109E.

Hi Steffen,
maybe you should ask who is going to ask them inconvenient questions at Nuremberg?

Michal, I must dissagree with you on this. Did you consult the Eduard Blog on the Bf-109E? Sulc says:

All the shortcomings of the 32nd scale Emil are well fixed on the 48th scale kit, and I suppose no putty will be necessary on any section.


The only thing I am not sure is whether this refers only to assembly issues, but I really think they had it corrected. The one thing is sure: I will be having many of these birds!!

All the best,

Hi Entoni,
to be honest I didn't - the blog was updated 8 hours AFTER I posted my comment here. In the infoEduard I found the company said only that it is scaled down so I assumed they didn't change anything else. If Vladimir Sulc says it's improved in comparison to 32 scale brother I have no reason not to believe him. Let's wait for the kit and first reviews based on the sprues insted of pictures published in the net.

@Michal: I fully agree with you. I will certainly buy several of the Emils for my intended builds and reviews. However, I still deem the Eduard's Emil to be high on every list of to-buy priorities.
