Chuck's Tropical Emil.
Brand new Airfix Messeschmitt Bf 109E Trop.
The model is so easy to build that I had got to this stage in a little over 2 hours.
Hairy Brush treatment almost complete.
My usual hand applied camo.

Re: Chuck's Tropical Emil.
Well done Chuck, you've got to this stage very quickly. I haven't seen this boxing of the kit and the desert scheme is always an attractive option IMHO.

Chuck, as I stated in your workbench thread; That desert Emil of yours looks fantastic.

Just about there.
The finished product. I broke the aerial off and that's a new one, so that actually needs a bit of paint.

Nice one Chuck, the desert scheme really does suit the '109E.

Yup, she sure looks pretty in that scheme. I have it in 1:48. I'm tempted to Blitz it.
