monthebiff Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 A little more done on the Taifun with the wheel wells painted and completed after adding the Eduard brass additions followed by fixing the lower wing in place. A pretty good fit with not to much clean up needed and then on to the control surfaces. Regards.

monthebiff Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Main airframe work done now with all control surfaces fitted which all needed drilling and pinning with brass rod as there are no attachment points whatsoever on this kit! A few small details to add as well as detailing the canopy interior and ready to paint! Regards.

monthebiff Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 A little progress with the Taifun, Canopy fitted and colour on. Just for a change I decided to stray from my usual Tamiya acrylics and used AK Real Colours on this one and very happy with the results. Regards.

Jaro Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Super! There are many painting schemes the Bf 108 looks good, but an African one is ultra-cool. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Looks great, is that a glass of cider in the background, and if so, is it an integral part to your mottling technique, asking for a friend? monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Looks great - I wonder why Eduard don't do more 1/32nd kits, I like them... The paint work looks great. I recently started using AK Real Colors as well, and man... do they lay down nice !!! However doing a RLM74/75 scheme I found the match to the real RLM to be not good - way too much contrast between the two... But your colors look great to my eye. My color-nazi friend says the AKRC are hit and miss with regards to color accuracy. Not something that matters a lot to me - it has to be bad if I can see it, but with the RLM74/75 I could... monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 What a great job you are doing with that, the interior and the main paint work look really great, really looking forward to more progress. Cheers Dennis monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good spot Kagemusha, you are indeed correct it is indeed a glass of Somerset s finest apple juice which always brings out some of my finest works Regards.

The 108 is a lovely little kit for sure, I have a 109 on the go which I'm not such a fan of though but getting there with it but it would be nice if Eduard managed to release a few more 32nd scale kits. The AK stuff lays down super smooth and I will be definitely using more. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Thank you all for your kind comments on my choice of colour scheme, decals on now Not sure if these are Cartograph decals or not as no mention of their name on the sheet, they are super thin and very hard to deal with though that's for sure.
