Not like you haven't seen one before, but here's my take on the 'Emil', the new Eduard 1/48 E-1 to be exact. After a lengthy project like my last Eduard Bf-110E build it was nice to see this one come together in about 3 or 4 weekends.

I left out the engine all together (let alone the coolant reservoir way in front) since I wanted to avoid problems with closing up the cowling. Eduard does provide instructions as to how to approach this, but their take on the matter doesn't work too well it seems.

Very nice indeed.

I'm building one at the moment and have gone the same way with the engine.

Yeah, a few additional mounting tabs, a spacer and some styrene strip worked like a charm for me, rather then trying to fit the engine inside the cowling.

Bottomline is ofcourse is the kit is pretty much designed to have the engine visible. I've seen builds that endedn up with misaligned cowling panels, taking a lot of filling/sanding to make it look half way decent (wrecking the beautifully subtle details along the way)
