That is genious! The only problem you'd have with that is incorporating it
into the angled slope of the tail boom of the Emil. If you look at a couple
of the real pictures, you'll note it extends straight from the cockpit,
angling upwards from the bottom.
On this note, has anybody else noticed that the hardest part of a WW2 plane
is the angled tail? The nose and wings are usually the easiest, with the
tail being the most challenging.

Wow.
I never, ever thought I'd be getting praise from Sullivan. ^_^ *faints*
To answer your question, yes, I believe mine is a little bit short. The
canopy should be a little bit smaller, and the nose a bit longer. I believe
the tail fins are about accurate.
And go right ahead and use my tail design. Us WW2 builders have to help
eachother out with tricky designs ^_^

Can't wait to see your version!
