I like it. Very good indeed. I think it would be improved with the addition of a little dust over the running gear and lower hull.....but excellent anyway!

Hi Iron Duke

Welcome to the EMil Club haha! Karl, Coca and I all built one.

Emil is a fantastic kit and I'm glad you build it too. I like the clean build on yours.

Hi Iron Duke!
I like your Emil, it looks very nice.
However, there seems to be a small problem. The track is elevated, I mean it doesn't sit on the return rollers, but is floating above them.
