32nd scale Eduard Bf-108 review by Cliff Davis

Just got the new 32nd scale Eduard Bf-108 and thought I'd share some shots of the
sprues, instructions, PE and decal sheet.
I first saw a mention of the kit about two years ago from a company called
"Painted Fighter". I kept on looking for more information on it since then
to no avail. At least until a few weeks ago when it popped up with the
Eduard logo and a potential May release date. Well, here it is.
There are several sprues molded in a dark gray plastic that hold
about eighty parts. Then there are two in resin plus the really nice
and really clear canopy parts. Eduard thoughtfully provides a full
canopy/windscreen part or separate pieces which allow one to
fully open the cockpit area.
A n optional prop and the spinner are provided in resin (which
is hardly distinguishable from the plastic parts).
The instruction sheet is much like modelers have come to expect
from top rated manufacturers since Wing Nut Wings kicked off
with their highly comprehensive "books" some ten years ago.
The decal sheet looks to be very nice and provides for five
separate color schemes ranging from Africa to Russia.
Overall it seems to be just a super kit of a topic that lends
itself to this larger scale and now that my modelling area
is back together I'm looking forward to starting on it.

TAKOM’s 1/16 Pz.Kpfw.1 Ausf. A
Kit review and 99% build.
By Steve Chadbone

Let me start by saying this is a very nice kit, with lots of very nice details. The instructions are for the most part very clear and easy to follow, that being said, there is one or two little areas which leave you guessing a bit. One of the biggest frustrations was the strange need to spread the parts over every sprue, the best example of this is step 12, the rear hull, 7 parts, from sprue A, B, D and E. yep, every main sprue. :-)
I was a little disappointed with the bad fit of the upper hull to the body/fenders and the engine compartment, the upper hull does not fit, due to the length of the bracket next to the exhaust pipe, that same area causes issues with the engine desk. I had to cut the inlet hole and make a small grove in the exhaust pipe to move the engine deck back.

The screw heads really look great and with a slight wash applied really pop.

I would recommend you attach the fenders to the hull without the rear mud flaps, else it is a nightmare to get it on.
The seam lines are very pronounced on the tools etc. for a modern kit this is a little surprising.

The decals are really bad also, very thick carrier film.

The tracks are lovely and go together very well, but as the fit is tight, don’t paint them 1st on the sprue as I did ☹

Using a fine drill, and wire, I hinged most of the hatch hinges, adding small bolt heads to keep in the wire.
