I started this last week and found that it is a real nice kit. I purchased it from the Brother's of Sprue as over trees. So I have no decals, instructions or pe. I got the instructions from Eduards site and pieces together some seat belts from a collection of spares that I had for the past couple of years so they are not all that complete but close. The sub assemblies went together with out a real fuss and fit quite nicely into the fuselage which I closed up before I inserted the pit and engine. That way, as I saw it, I was able to take care3 of any seams or gaps if they popped up, luckily they didn't. I am thinking I will probably try a civilian livery of some sort so no heavy weathering if any at all.
Coming along nicely! I'm not used to seeing a bench seat in the back of an AC like that! Reminds me of the Chevy Malibu station wagon we had when I was a kid...
Well this is as done as it will get. Not really a bad kit but you surely need to have pe on this to do it justice. I use a cookie decorating stencil of a clouded leopard for the mottling and the rest of the scheme I just made up as I went along.
Wow - I was totally uninterested in the 108 as a subject until I saw it finished in this scheme! I actually sold off my one 108 kit a while back in a stash reduction sale, thinking it was one I would never get around to building, but now I may need to secure another! This looks fantastic.
Paul, I'm right there with Greg as to a total disinterest regarding the 108, but geez did make one pretty plane. Very nice indeed.
Really good looking plane. You did well with this paint scheme and mottling. Nice going.
