Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B. FINISHED.
As I'm doing 3 GBs this month and I'm away for four days at the end I'm going for the easier of the two markings.

Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
Started on the cockpit and used RLM66 for the interior.
Dry fitting of resin seats.
First time I've used a resin after market product and not sure about it. Seems very brittle and when sanding I use a mask as I gather the dust can be very harmful.
The seats are supposed to be a colour called chaudron. I think the Heller number is 9017.
Anything close that Vallejo does that someone might know of?

9017 is equivalent to Humbrol 100 red/brown - in other words, leather.

Vallejo do a red leather so I'll use that

Seats painted and belts made from masking tape added. I may try and paint some buckles on them. I may not

Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
Good start. Small dabs of Aluminium paint should be sufficient - it's what I do sometimes.

Great looking cockpit. Great start.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

About to close up the cockpit. This is a nice little kit with no vices so far.
