[:D]Hi all I just finished this four days ago.[:)]
I like Eduard kits[:D] the whole thing had perfect fit except for the windows. They were to big I tried somthing new for once when I fill seams I sand away the panel lines. I forgot what this was called but I cut out the panel lines on the fusalage after I sanded them away. Eduard also had great decals. I put gobs of micro sol on it and they layed down perfectly. Last, I compared it with the 109E its still a tiny plane but it can fit five people[:O] those must be some little seats. Does anyone know what the Bf-108 was used for? a bomber? recon? Well thats it thanks for looking.[:)] All comments very welcome.
Very interesting aircraft. The original design was a two seated sport/recreational ac for competition in the Fourth Challenge de Tourisme Internationale in 1934. It was used by the Germans in WW2 as a personal transport and liaison ac. Much more information can be found about the the BF-108. Thanks for showing.
As for your question regarding the Bf-108 it was a civilian light aircraft design and built before the war. Meserschmitt used the basic wing design as the basis for the Bf-109 prototype and the rest as they say is history. It was then used in the war as a liaison aircraft.
The kit would be a great pallet for you to try your hand at bringing out the panel lines with a wash.
Did you build the weekend edition or the Profipack. I built the profipack about two years ago and took a first place in box stock with it at a couple of different contests in 2006-2007. It’s such a great kit to work with.
Very well done bud…!!! Over all build looks clean especially when you re scribed the panel lines…!! [tup][tup]for the decals as well, from what I can see, there is no silvering!!! Job well done… I also noticed the painting of the canopy. well done… You are definitely getting there Drew…
I have this kit as well but it is the Profi Pack version…!! Thank you for sharing…!! You should be proud of your latest build…
Nice work on the Taifun! It is a neat little aircraft not often seen here. Was that the regular Eduard kit or the “Weekender”? I have the regular kit in the stash and was wondering if there were any build issues other than thw windows (seams, etc.)?
Brian, the kit is pretty nice I built the normal. There is hardly any locating pins in the fusalage, the interior fit isn’t all that great but the worst is the window fit. Still its a great kit.[:)]
