Reini78 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 #4/2017 What the Versailles Treaty was for Germany, the St.Germain Treaty was for Austria after the end of WW1. Austria´s military wasn´t allowed to have a standing army bigger than 30.000 men, no heavy artillery, no tanks and no aircraft. Nevertheless, like Germany, Austria secretly formed a Fliegerkorps in 1927 with Austrian, British and German built aircraft. In 1928 the pilot training started, a technical infrastructure was built up and further aircraft ordered in Italy. The first of the latter ones arrived in 1933. Two Fliegerregiment were formed and stationed in Wien-Aspern and Graz-Thalerhof. And finally in 1936 the typical Austrian roundel was introduced. On April 22nd 1937 the Austrian Airforce ordered a single Bf108 which arrived in Wien-Aspern on July 27th 1937. In October 1937 a wing broke off during flight and the aircraft crsahed, killing all 4 crewmembers. Eduard kit (old black boxing), added handgrips on the roof and rudder joints from the sparebox. The aircraft was painted in blue, most likely Messerschmitt factory blue (RAL5008) so my dad made a selfmix. Wooden propeller from the Eduard Brassin line. The Luftwaffe style letter decals are from Fantasy Printshop. Couldn´t find the correct number style decals, especially in that small size, for the rudder, therefore used some US Navy style decals from Superscale.

Spitfire31 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Beautiful build an finish of this the most attractive Bf 108 livery! For my taste, the 'panel lines' are too accentuated, somewhat compromising the elegant lines of the 108. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Very nice build, good seeing a Taifun in a different livery. All the builds I've seen have been in a desert camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
