Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 2, 2022 Administrators Posted March 2, 2022 Hete we go again The 1/32 Eduard Bf108 with all the goodies i could find. Also got the Mushroom publications book. Mostly for the rivet drawings. Also found a an autograph of Wendelin Trenkle. The Messerschmit testoikot that first flew a Bf108 12 1
Bomber_County Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 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
Peterpools Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Jeroen I'm right with Phil and along for the journey. Keep 'em comin Peter 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 8, 2022 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
Martinnfb Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 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
Landlubber Mike Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 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
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 8, 2022 Here is the original autograph from Wendelin Trenkle. The first test pilot to fly the first bf108 6 1
Peterpools Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 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. Keep 'em comin Peter 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 9, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 9, 2022 Wondering what belts to use. Not too happy with either of them. Same goes for the panel. 7
GusMac Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 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
DocRob Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 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? Cheer Rob 6
Peterpools Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Seems for what AM cost, the quality should be better and a lot more consistent. Keep 'em comin Peter 3

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

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. Cheers Rob 4

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 14, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 14, 2022 Started work on the Quinta seatbelts. Fragile buggers, but they do the job. Should look fine under some matt coat and washes. 8 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 16, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 16, 2022 One step forward. Two steps back. Quinta seatbelts? A no for me. 1 1 2
monnthebiff Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 What happened there? I recently finished one of the and the Quinta stuff worked very well. Regards. Andy 4 1

Lovely work on your pit by the way! 2 5

Lovely work on your pit by the way! 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. Regards. Andy 6
JohnB Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 This should really be a great looking model. I look forward to seeing the end result! 3
Peterpools Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 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? Keep 'em comin Peter 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 19, 2022 Author Administrators Posted March 19, 2022 Restored the seats and working with eduard seatbelts now. The Quinta decals work fine on the side walls. 5 1
