I'm looking for plans for a 1/5th scale Messerschmidt Bf-108 or a Percival Gull 6 D.3. These two airplanes date back to the early/mid 1930s. The Percival was used by The Bf-108 was designed for civilian use and was drafted into the Luftwaffe in WWII and was built by the French during and after WWII. Jean Batten to set her 1935 record flying between England and Australia in the Percival. I have attached some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Maybe not the size you want but they can always be scaled up ME 108 http://www.trapletshop.com/gb/search?q=Me+108+TAIFUN
As close to a Gull six that I can get http://www.myhobbystore.co.uk/produc...cival-gull-mk2

Thanks Lake Flyer! I don't know why but the seldom seen out of the ordinary aircraft appeal to me. Here is a picture of a trimotor I keep looking at. Tell me it's not a crash looking to happen? The full size model had a wing load of 200 kg per meter. Still it appeals to me! It's French built/designed.

Boy that's a new one on me. And yes it's a crash waiting to happen .I've always liked the Gull series and the Me 108.

Me too! Graupner use to make a kit for the Bf-108 but it went out before I could come up with the cash. The airplane in question, Couzinet 10, did fly quite well even with a wingload of 200 kilos to the meter. Unfortunately they made modifications to the engines several months later and the resulting crash kill the pilot and mechanic with the airplane.

A few years back, I saw a foam and glass 108 kit for sale, here in the classifieds. It was in the 80" category. If you are diligent, and check the Rc classifieds daily (for years?) you may find one.

Also, Don, from my Ryan thread, has a 108 ARF. I don't think that he's assembled it, but I also am not sure that he'd sell it. You could contact him, and ask.

And yes, that trimotor has my attention ! I haven't had time to look for a good set of 3 views. But I will look.

Tom,

I found one set but the didn't have anything but the outside shape, no hint of any station sections.

TomCrump

I found a couple, but no station sections, either.

I'm talking to Don, now. He sold his 108.

I take it he was making room in his hanger for his next build?
