If you are interested in getting your hands on one, I have one for just south of £30.00? Sorry - just spotted! Many thanks for the thought - but already have one on the way...

Rick Griewski Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The kit came Saturday. I will clip it off the sprues and tape it up Today. BTY I am glad I bought the resin spoked wheels. Rick Box open, cutters flailing and with tape in hand. I am very happy with the kit! Highlights for me: — external seams will need no filler except where the center wing belly meets the fuselage. Wing root is well done. — clear parts are well done. I like the closed or open canopy option and painting masks — resin prop is lovely — PE looks great and it looks to be useful over all. — great selection of ac to portray. Challenge: — some fragile parts — landing gear will be weak — I replaced spokes wheels, the tail wheel is mush — plastic has texture that with require primer IMHO I will order another kit and resin wheels Edited May 10, 2020 by Rick Griewski Added observations Fanes, monthebiff, MikeMaben and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Why buy the LOOK panel when the kit comes with a PE panel? monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen and I have only cracked the lid to take a peek, its a really tasty kit. I hope that the AM guys knock out some markings for the Spanish Civil war and Post-SCW as that would be the icing on the cake. Stay safe. Gary.

Rick Griewski Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hmmm.... I may go through my Bf-109 markings for the Spanish Civil war. Proportions will be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they're available, but these should fit the bill. The full list of ten decal sheets from Kora. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got mine last week. REALLY nice kit, and the plastic is pretty nice too.......................the only down side to the kit IMHO, is that the plastic is nice, but it does have a slight orange peel look to it. Not sure how it will look under paint/primer, but its not too bad, but will remain to be seen if it will take more work than a general swipe with some 600 wet dry. The Eduard resin wheels/gear doors, as well as the Eduard "LOOK" IPs are really nice additions.

Dennis7423 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well, I "needed" to order some more photo-etch for my Gladiator, so once it was in stock at SB, I grabbed it up. I just had all this extra room in my cart... and a 108 fell in there. Oops. Looking forward to this one! - Dennis S.

Archimedes Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) The Kora Swiss Air Force decals look nice but I am told are not that accurate. I've got the kit but am waiting for some AM company to release some civil marking for it like D-IOIO or D-IMTT in 1/32....Techmod? https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1330102 Edited May 12, 2020 by Archimedes Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Mine arrived today, yeah. Really nice little aircraft which looks fun to build. I bought all the extra's with the kit just because, but except for the wheels, the other after market stuff isn't really necessary. Couldn't help myself cutting the big parts from the runners and tape them together. Fit is good and with careful building filler isn't really needed. The only place where some filler is needed is the join between the wing underside and back of the fuselage. Personally I can't wait to really start on this one!

Out2gtcha Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks for the tape together. The kit looks really nice IB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It's a great little kit for certain, definitely has a bit of a short run run feel about it, have got base colours in the cockpit and the plastic looks good under paint even though the plastic has a little orange peel feel to it.

Paul2660 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 To me the effect is more like a satin finish on the plastic surface. A very fine one but sanding it off evenly could be difficult. Overall a nice kit and I like the various aircraft decal options that were included. Paul C Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
