A nice milestone moment in the construction of a plane is getting the first outer skin on. On some Halinski builds, I have had a lot of issues with the inner cockpit skins not fitting correctly -- they must align precisely and have no gaps at the seams, otherwise the outer skins won't fit either. Fortunately, this time around only some light sanding was needing to achieve the desired inner skin fit, and the outer skin thus went on without a hitch. The nose frames were then assembled and mated to the cockpit section. You can see that there is a substantial amount of substructure. After adding one more fuselage skin (it fit perfectly and won't even require any seam touch-ups), it's time to work on the nose. The Emil had a rather lumpy, bumpy nose (a characteristic that was addressed in the 109F), and that is reflected in the jigsaw puzzle-like nose assembly sequence for the model. Patience will be the order of the day!

Anyone out there working on a card model?

Me, too -- but if I recall correctly, I have to go off-site to see the build log for this one (hint, hint). 🤨😉 -
Take a good look -- this is the last time you'll be able to clearly see all of the cockpit elements before everything gets closed up. Port side on the left, starboard on the right. The disparity in the number of controls on the two sides makes me wonder whether the Luftwaffe chose only right-handed pilots for fighter pilot duty. 🤔

Hey, Greg. I just came across this thread. I had this kit back in the day, sans PE upgrades. Never got around to building it. I just saw a video about this aircraft a few weeks ago. The narrator mentioned that this aircraft had an unfortunate tendency to fling its cockpit crew forward into the spinning prop upon hard landings -- not a trait that endeared it much to its crews.

Bonjour, Alexandre, et bienvenue à MSW. Veuillez noter que MSW est un forum en anglais uniquement. Vous pouvez utiliser un traducteur en ligne si nécessaire. Pour tirer le meilleur parti de votre temps à MSW, veuillez lire nos directives de forum ici. Nous avons également un article qui explique comment utiliser les différentes fonctions de notre site. Parce que les modèles que vous souhaitez exposer ici sont des pièces finies, le meilleur endroit pour les exposer est dans notre galerie de modèles finis. Vous pouvez créer un dossier pour tous ensemble ou séparément pour chaque modèle. En attendant, je vais combiner vos publications récentes en un seul sujet et les déplacer dans votre introduction. Sincèrement, Chris Hello, Alexandre, and welcome to MSW. Please note that MSW is an English only forum. You can use an online translator if necessary. To get the most out of your time at MSW, please read our forum guidelines here. We also have an article that explains how to use the different functions of our site. Because the models you want to display here are finished pieces, the best place to display them is in our finished model gallery. You can create a folder for all together or separately for each model. In the meantime, I'll combine your recent posts into a single topic and move them into your introduction.

First cuts -- started work on the cockpit. Typical for Halinski, the kit has a lot of details that will not likely be visible on the finished model. This first bit contains 32 parts. Rather fortuitously, I once again happened to have all the necessary edge colors on hand already. That's two kits in a row! 😮

Thanks, Dan. I have been trying to get in touch with Darius to get this project moving forward, but no joy yet.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
