Gear legs are shorter compared to the SH offering, but share with it the fragile assembly and positioning

I'm in Andrea. Looks like it will be an interesting comparison with the Special Hobby E. The 14th Feb deadline would terrify me!

@Neil Patrick: Consensus seems to be that the Special Hobby Emil is the better of the two (and best in 1/72 in general). AZ Emil is still accurate and cheaper though, just the details are softer.

@Yes Man: Agreed and Andrea's build of the SH kit proves it I think!

Thanks for sharing this build review of new AZ. Pity the SH doesn't offer such interesting decals 🙁 (e.g. the Swiss ones)

thanks everybody for your comments! I finished the build tonight: I wrote some notes about it in the picture, it is a nice kit but not so easy as I hoped.
I have a couple more in the stash and will build them as a OOB quick build just to relax with some of the beautiful camouflage that the Emil sported!
Ciao

Nice work Andrea. Although the kit had some shortcomings, your result is very nice - especially for 1/72. In particular, your mottling on the fuselage and tail is very convincing.

Thx Jim and Jurgen!
I will take a small pause from Emils now... maybe will start the 262 Group Build sooner or later...

I'm building the same version in 1/32

this would be an excellent job in 1/48, amazing in 1/72
