I know of the Heller kit, but is there any other 1/72 kit of this little oddball out there? Does anyone know of the shortcomings of the Heller kit? Lots of questions and no answers. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Hi Bob

Here's a full-build of the Heller kit. I built it myself when i was a teenager and enjoyed it, but that was far too long ago (where did the years go!?! LOL!) and I don't know how well the kit has stood the test of time...

All the best

Rowan

Scale Aviation Modeller International did a modellers profile on the bf108 in their May issue. According to their listings of kits decals accessories and references, the only 1/72 kit is the Heller offering.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your input guys, your comments are really helpful. Actually I have a half-finished Master for a Resin Kit of the BF-108 just about halfway finished. Now my only problem is would it be worthwhile to finish it and start up production?
