Bomber_County Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Another masterclass about to start, looking forward to this as I haven’t seen many in depth builds of a 108 and especially of the Eduard boxing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8 Author Administrators Share Posted March 8 Bit of a shitty start. Two rudder pedals have photo etch upper parts. I lost one and i don’t even hve a carpet. Searched two days. Nothing. Now made two new parts from leftover PE. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I hate when it happens, fortunately these upper parts are relatively simple to replicate. With your skill set Jeroen, it should be breeze. Cheers Martin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlubber Mike Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Nice start! Don't see many BF108 models out there, but I kinda like the looks of it. Am waiting to see if one pops on eBay with all the assorted accessories 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8 Author Administrators Share Posted March 8 Here is the original autograph from Wendelin Trenkle. The first test pilot to fly the first bf108 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Jeroen I guess we can't blame the carpet monster but maybe he has a cousin who lurks in the far recesses of wooden floors. Glad you were able to make a new set for the rudder pedals. Wendelin Trenkle autograph surely adds to the historical nature of the build.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 9 Author Administrators Share Posted March 9 Wondering what belts to use. Not too happy with either of them. Same goes for the panel. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The Eduard panel does seem to have their characteristic 'graininess'. It's hard to get a good look at the Quinta one in the picture. What's the problem with it Jeroen? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I don't know what it is with these Eduard IP's. I had very good ones and others heavy rasterized, like yours Jeroen, but with the other two options, you should find a a match. I often spend a lot of work on an IP's, only to find out, that you need and endoscope, to ever see them again. What about visibility in the 108?

Peterpools Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Seems for what AM cost, the quality should be better and a lot more consistent. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in gloss and mattish finish. But i prefer the detail and smoother print on the Quinta one. I have three panels to choose from so we’ll see. Might go Quinta. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing which can't be glazed with some drops of Future / Pledge on the instruments. With multiple applications, you receive the wanted bulged effect.

That's extremely disappointing and concerning as they aren't cheap either!. The side panels took oil washes nicely after a clear coat I'm building a Dragon Bf110 at the moment and have the Quinta set, don't think I'll be using the seat belts though after seeing your nightmare and stick to HGW instead.

Peterpools Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Jeroen Sorry to see you had issues with the Quinta seat belts. I've used them a few times now but in 48th scale where the detail and look is no where as critical as in 321nd scale. What's your course of action now?

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 19 Author Administrators Share Posted March 19 Restored the seats and working with eduard seatbelts now. The Quinta decals work fine on the side walls. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
