Classics Hangar's civi Messerschmitt

Mathias

SOH-CM-2024
Some very early appetizers of our up and coming Me 108 Taifun, the mother of all modern GA aircraft. :)
Exterior model is about 75% done.
Obviously needs some engine detailing, cockpit modelling and all those hang-tags like nav lights and antennas.
This one will come with two VC flavours, both depicting restored birds that are flying today.
One is widestly restored to historicall conditions (classic German metric gauges) plus some nav aids, the other has modern "imperial" equipment.

looks beautiful, lol now my must get list is getting bigger...better start saving lol.

ES Twinstar
RA Turbo Duke
A2A Mustang
Taifun
 
Looks great, had a chance to admire the Elly Beinhorn plane at Hahnweide that was standing in the rain before a free spot in the hangar was found. Not too many people were walking around in the rain, got a photo of the hanging V8 engine... That one has a modernized cockpit, too...
 
Having seen the real thing at Duxford last year, I'm glad to see a company starting development of this German beauty, although I'm not into FSX or anything anymore :salute:.
 
Looking Good Mathias, both the Bf108 and your forthcoming Bf110 are top of my list. :salute::salute::salute:
 
Wow Mathias, always impressed with your work. If you ever need anymore beta testers, PLEASE let me know...please...LOL :wavey:
 
Mathias,

That looks like an outstanding model! I think a lot of people are going to eagerly await its release!

Although, for the title of mother of all modern GA planes, this one is one of the pioneers no doubt, but I think Mr. Taylor and Mr. Piper and their Cub might have a claim also. :engel016:

Cheers,

Ken

He sure, Ken, let them share the title.
Though with 4 seats, retracting gear, auto slats, all metal construction, a 240 hp engine, a cruise speed of 140 knots and handling characterics without any sort of aero-dynamical flaws associated with "vintage" aircraft the Taifun would probably be a bit closer to the crown, don't you think? There are not an awfull lot of GA planes around that have bypassed this one in performance in the past 6 decades.
