Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
It's been quite straightforward so far apart from one minor hiccup

Looking really good Toby, it's a kit I've been attracted to a few times, but never got one.

Taken before the issue with sanding.
Slight problem with me rushing the top coat after sanding some filler. Hopefully can sort it out.

Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
Think I've managed to save most of the problem. The rest you won't see as it's underneath.
Sadly I think I have made a bit of a pigs ear on the cockpit masking and the glue wasn't cleaned up prior to paining. The joys of doing things late at night I guess sad:
Now for a few coats of gloss and then let decalling commence.

Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
Funnily the colour on the decal instructions say it should be RLM63(light grey) but it actually looks light blue.
I opted for RLM76 which I think is pretty close to the actual colour.

Re: Toby's Heller Messerchmitt Bf 108B
Finally finished in one week. I think that's a record for me.
I'll post more pictures in the aviation section later.
