Hi all - hope everyone is geared up for a few days off, a big Thanksgiving feast, time with family, and some football.

This evening, I'd like to share a few photos of Rommel's Desert Taxi, the Messerschmitt 108 "Taifun". Included with this piece (as a bonus) is none other than a desert version of Rommel and trusty pilot figure.

I really like this version of Rommel which can be used in many other scenes:

Only recently did I gain a real appreciation for the pilot, a nicely detailed and painted figure:

For fans of K&C's Afrikakorps collection, I must say that with all things considered, I still prefer "Yellow 14" with its detailing and color scheme; although I do like Rommel and pilot better than Hans-Joachim Marseille figure. They're still both very nice planes and great additions to ones' Afrikakorps collection.

Really nice warbirds. I have to agree with your comments on the figures too; they look superb. Nice scenes.
 
Nice pictures. My Taifun is currently without a cockpit and going to get a repaint. detailing up the cockpit turning mine into a European version

when I get time to finish a few projects for myself it will look great. A mate passed me a pile of his 1/32nd scale left overs for upgrading aircraft including a whole cockpit for a Taifun. I am really busy at the moment but, it was your pics of the winter versions that made me go and have a look and start messing. All I have done so far is what is in the pic

Great idea Mitch,look forward to those pics to mate.

I look forward to seeing your finished plane - always impressed to see custom work on K&C.

EDIT: so far, really nice cockpit.
 
Very nice WO. I really like this Rommel's ME108. IMO it is a very underappreciated set.
