Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my 1/72 Heller Bf-108 Taifun in Winter Camo. Painted with Gunze/Mr Hobby arcylics, photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. The Heller kit was originally released in the late 60s/early 70s, so it's about my age. All parts are still sharply moulded and fit together reasonably well, although the level of detail is well below modern kits. I added some PART photo etch pieces (instrument panel, seatbealts, gear doors, etc), but you can't see much of the interior through the thick plastic canopy. Markings for a snow camouflaged aircraft were taken from the FLY Bf-108 kit. # # The patchy and worn winter scheme was created by painting the standard splinter camo first, then masking random spots with pieces of Tamiya tape and Vaseline creme, brushed along the edges, before overspraying the airframe with Gunze H451 White. Thank you for your interest, best greetings from Vienna! Roman -
Hello everyone! Here is my latest model - this time it's Willy Messerschmitt's personal Taifun. I used Fly's 1/72 kit, photoetched parts from Brengun and Techmod's set that contained decals for D-IMTT. I did not experience any great troubles with assembling the plastic. Some trimming was required to make sure that cabin fits into the fuselage. Also proper dry fitting is required before fuselage and wing are sticked together. Tamiya XF-25 was used to represent RLM-63. I think that is a very good match. Red band on the tail is painted. Model was finished with Future. I've always liked the look of this small and flawless aircraft - so I'm very happy now having it on the shelf! And a familty foto with a younger brother (Italeri's Bf-109 built years ago). Nice weekend to everyone! Dennis- 8 replies

Hi all, Well this only took me four months due to uni and holiday etc, but it's finished at last! A bit about the build, I wanted to build a hack aircraft that was a bit different; being a Spitfire enthusiast, any aircraft related to a Spitfire squadron was of particular interest, moreover late war (1944-1945) is mostly where my interest lies. I had previously come across this Bf-108 that was impressed into RAF/RCAF service sometime in 1945, the airframe is presumed to be ex-civilian (white tyre walls), maybe used by the Luftwaffe, very little is known about the aircraft's true history over than it ended up as an RAF/RCAF hack. With such a nice colour scheme and fitting the time period in which I'm most interested, I couldn't resist. The kit is Heller's old and basic Bf-108, I attempted to remedy some issues such as the raised panel lines by doing a full rescribe and squaring off the horizontal stabilisers, I also decided to scratch build an Argus AS-10 engine to sit upfront - this required a bit of body work, including plunge moulding an engine cowl. A new fixed pitch prop was sought and extra attention was paid to the navigation lights (made out of clear sprue). WIP Overall I am pleased with the result IMG_1343_zps2dtnd149 by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1344_zpsxksszj4r by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1346_zpshsv5xwcm by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1347_zpslau3zvvp by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1348_zpsw3lasvbt by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1349_zps0ek5eh9s by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1351_zpssymlgdo6 by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1353_zps7acxetd7 by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1354_zpsnd7hpdro by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1355_zps3cm2shsg by Ben Standen, on Flickr IMG_1356_zpsilfbbppq by Ben Standen, on Flickr Thanks for looking, here's my next project Ben

Hi All, A post to show my latest build! It's been a shelf of shame rescue as i must have started this kit almost two years ago Finally dug it out and finished it over the last couple of weeks. It's Eduard's Bf-108B kit finished as D-IDBT, an aircraft operated by the German Embassy in London in 1939. One of the biggest battles with this kit was ascertaining what RLM-05 (lazure yellow) actually looks like. In the end i had to mix it by eye using humbrol paints and other people's interpretations of the colour. I'm happy with the result though and trust far more the judgment of my fellow modellers than a sketchy paint chart. Anyhoo... The pictures: Arf! I hope you guys like it. It was, as always, a pleasure and a delicious escape to the modelling desk. And an ever increasing drop into the oceanic learning curve. Je suis le muppet. ~M~
