I've got this kit last year in Prague at E-Day for a really good price.
The kit is simple, ideal for a quick project and because this is a Profi Pack, nice Photo Etched parts are included.

Because the engine is really nice I've decided to open one of the side panels to show something from it.

Thank you!

Instead of using the Photo etched instrument panel, what is ugly in my opinion, I used the plastic one included. I made some surgery to fit in the canopy, but now it's fine (almost ).
I realized that this is a typical Eduard kit. Nicely engineered with nice details, but the fit is terrible as usual. I'm going to use a lot of Miliput and Squadron putty to fix it.

That's beautiful, Miklos- you have a real eye for painting.

Cheers!

Very nice work, Miklos, as others have said.

It's funny...the back seat of this aircraft looks like the back seat of my first car - a 1978 Buick Century! (well, without the ginormous seat belts).

I'm after a long afternoon and evening, but I can show you the nice Taifun It's not finished yet, because the weathering and small touches are the next steps.

Hi Miklos,

Wow! That's a very nice Bf 108 indeed. The painting looks excellent.

I hope you will send some pictures of the finished model to Aeroscale for a feature...

It's turning out really nice!
Great work on the preshading and the overall weathered appearance.

Miklos, that painting is superb. You are so neat- those pre-shading lines look like you used a ruler. And the weathered appearance of the top already looks great- can't wait to see it after the finishing touches! Thank you very much for sharing your build.

I am also very jealous of your build speed!

Bravo!

Nice job! Love the overall camouflage & wear effect nicely matched.

Keep them rolling.

I`ve started one of these a couple of weeks ago but I got stuck in first gear (BBB campaign oblige)

Cheers
