I'm not mad about the plane but I believe the model is very good.
We have one here that appears on the airshow circuit.
Last time I saw it was painted like a BF109 which I thought a bit naff.
Queen Charlotte introduced the Christmas Tree to Great Britain when Britain was Great.
Friends with Marie Antoinette too.

Three another Bf108 at Omaka with the original engine...I understand that it's supposed to be on the rebuild to fly.

Always used to see it in movies like The Great Escape and Where Eagles Dare masquerading as a BF109.

The '109 / 108' are Nords in all of those old films. About as many 108s survived the war as 109s
