Piaggio P.108-Serie II *finished*

Roberto Rocat
WOW...I'm closely following 👍

Marco Gallmann
A must see! I take a seat

Spanjaard
never seen one like this one before, you really choose uncommon subjects 🙂

Olivier
Das ist aber kein Japaner !

Rick Corts
Still, Japanese planes are my favorites, but i won't look away when someone is building something special that you don't see very often! There is a lot of resin involved i see. That will be interesting....

Daniel Klink
I still got some big Hinomarus in my stash😉
Thank you for your apperances Gentlemen 👍
Olivier your german is perfect btw. 🙂

Marcel Klemmer
I am in Daniel, very interesting typ of an aircraft

Daniel Klink
Hi Marcel, welcome too mate 👍

Daniel Klink
Anybody knows where to get italian Airmen of WWII in 1/72?

Stefan Schacht
Hallo Daniel, you can look here scalemates.com/kits/1005194-..-pilots-and-ground-grew-wwii
Cheers Stefan

Christian Keller
Interesting project, I will keep watching 😉

Bart Goesaert
Intriguing one, never heard of it, but will be following with interest...

Treehugger
What kind of paint scheme will you consider? I had never heard about this bomber before. I checked with Wikipedia and I saw there was a mottled paint scheme at least.

gorby
Now that's something you don't see every day (or ever).
Interesting looking aircraft - I've not seen it before. Just read that one had a 4 inch anti-shipping cannon!

Bart Goesaert
There was an american bomber too with this feature B-25 with a Sherman gun in the nose: [img1]

Daniel Klink
Welcome guys and thanks for your Appearances 👍
@Treehugger i will do the "navy" paintscheme of the kit black undersides (field applied) and Olivegreen.
ALso have the Flying machines Kit which is the early version I.seria with the mottled camo scheme and
the nose turret.
@Gorby Yes that was the A version which special hobby also produced and i own. The german Luftwaffe used it after italian capitulation

Alex-Ovidiu Mihailescu
Well Daniel, this is nice ! I wish I had one ! Plus the messerschmitt 264 , as these were the first strategic bombers of the axis. Unfortunately they came in to being too late to make a difference. I'll be watching this!

Daniel Klink
You are right Alex 👍 I am sure the P. 108 will be reissued, but the Me 264 hm... Whatever thes are no very well done kits at all.
But the only games in Town for these types.

Guy Rump
Just came across this one Daniel, watching with interest. 🙂

Soeren R.
Count me in!
Are you becoming a new speedbuilder? 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
What a rare topic, following

Daniel Klink
Welcome guy(s) and thanks for your interest 👍
@Soeren.. this thing will take a lot of time and patience so no speedbuild.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Just stumbled over that- most interesting! You will make a marvel out of this, that´s for sure- and I will follow for sure

Alec K
Taking a seat. Glad this one is back on the bench 👍

Daniel Klink
Thank you Roland glad you found it and i will try my best 👍
@Alec yap thank you mate! - encouragement is needed with this kit 🙂
Lets stick together, come on, come on... 🙂

Daniel Klink
Now its Putty time 🙂

Daniel Klink
Hi James, and a warm welcome and thanky you for your kind words 👍
MAsking ...

David Januska
Wow, another interesting project. Looking great. I was suprised that there were only 24 planes built of type I and II and 16 were lost during operations. I've read in one review that engines are not so good as a rest of the kit. Is it true? Looking forward for next pictures.

Dave Flitton
Watching this one! I have no idea where you have been storing such large builds.

Sergej I
Call me utterly ignorant, but I never knew Piaggio was making planes aswel 😄 Looking good, this one 🙂

Daniel Klink
Hi David, nice to have you here and yes the kit engines are crappy and also the surfaces of the main parts is let us say ok. But the clear -and Resinparts are really top.
Thank you for your interest in this project 👍

Daniel Klink
@Davewelcome mate and added some pictures and you are right.. It is indeed a big Bird.
@Sergej Take a seat and thank you👍

David Januska
Nice image with the Me 109. I can't imagine how huge it is.

Daniel Klink
Hi DAvid.. It is really a big plane and the 109 looks like a bug or something on its wing 🙂

Holger Kranich
Harejasses watt´n Trümmer!😄 Dicker Pott!

Daniel Klink
Hi Holger, jo extrem massig auch von der Form her 👍 10 Tag noch, dann simmer quasi Inselnachbarn... ok SPiekeroog hängt noch dazwischen

Slavo Hazucha
Cool topic & a jolly good start 👍 Joining the beholders crowd!

Daniel Klink
Welcome Slavo, and nice you join the crowd 👍
Did some Blackbasing, the Big italian Blackbird

Daniel Klink
Thank you James 👍 Now the usual marmorizing with filtered and softened insignia white

Treehugger
Fun seeing you guys add varied shading to the hull before adding the final layers of paint. 🙂 I have to try that out.

Daniel Klink
Do this, it is really easy and is a good preparation for the final coat.

Stephan Ryll
Looking very good Daniel 👍

coporado
Beautiful work so far and interesting bird, count me in Daniel!

Daniel Klink
H STephan and Sascha.. Thank you mates and welcome.
How do you like the green color? First layer

Slavo Hazucha
Compated to the cucumber-esque tones of the Betty, this one has a dedicatedly more fruitful and zesty touch...😉😉

Seriously - looking very good - big plane-big playground, the shading comes out nicely - a great base for further blends & techniques! 👍

Daniel Klink
Thank you Slavo 👍 YAp i added more layers. What Do you think? Does the color fit the original thing?

Roberto Rocat
Great progress, the paint job looks good from here!

Urban Gardini
The big bird is coming along great mate!

Daniel Klink
Thank you Robert, Urban and James...
demasked, some Decals added and now i can go for the washing. I am also quiet satisfied with the color choice.
The Props will be a real challenge, Resin and kit parts mixed and with super glue you have usually only one shot.

Stephan Ryll
Looking very good Daniel 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Great Daniel!

Daniel Klink
Thank you Stephan and Roland 👍 much appreciated but I got stuck with the Props now

Slavo Hazucha
Looking really good, the shading seems great on the pictures & I really like the "zombie cheers grinder - look" exhaust flame suppressors😉 👍

Daniel Klink
Thank you Slavo and James! Feel honored that you like the paintwork????

Daniel Klink
The question marks are an keyboard accident mates..sorry.
So with a little help from a friend finally got the props done. Now the final bits and pieces, paintwork, washes and final coating of some areas will be done
and the finish line is within sight, for this monster.
While waiting for some ordered washing stuff started another Bomber project

Olivier
Almost ready for take off. Another great bird to your record, Daniel !

Roland Sachsenhofer
Just great Daniel, in every aspect!

Slavo Hazucha
Perfectly timed along with the Ferrari triumph at Monza comes this fabulous top-tier product of Mussolini-era Italian engineering - grande! 👍
Really great treatment of those big surfaces and a model with quite some "presence" - well done sir!

I quite do not completely understand some design decissions on the plane, like the shape of the nose and the two small bubbles on the back (2 crew guiding the nacelle mounted defensive guns left/right?), but I surely do like the result!

Bart Goesaert
that one is for sure in dire need off a plastic surgeon for a new nosejob... weird looking aircraft and beautiful work...

Daniel Klink
Thank you Olivier, Roland, Slavo and Bart 👍 And yes if it wasn't for the historical look i would have given it a new nose Design

Holger Kranich
Sauberes Ding, Daniel!👍

Andy Ball
Love your choice of 'left-field' subjects and their superb constructions, Daniel...

Nikolaos Kouzinis
Impressive model and excellent job Daniel

Stephan Ryll
Very nice final result Daniel 👍

Guy Rump
Yet another excellent build 🙂

Neuling
Very good job: beautiful color, fine details in the cockpit!

Daniel Klink
Thank you Holger, Andy, Nikolaos, Stephan, Roland, Guy and Neuling 👍
Better pics of the plane alone will follow
@Andy yes i have a heart for the forgotten and not so succesful Constructions, Glad you like it👍

Cuajete
Very nice result, Daniel! I think I haven't seen this build of yours before.
Congrats!

Clifford Keesler
Another beauty sir.

Erik Leijdens
That's a impressive well build model of a rare bird! Great!

Daniel Klink
Thank you Cuajete, Clifford and Erik very much appreciated 👍
Just reworked the build a bit and took better pics 🙂
Glad you like it!

Transall NG
A very big one indeed ! Nicely built, mine will come on the bench... but when ?
Congratulations.

Daniel Klink
Thank you Transall NG! This is not an easy Built but well worth the effort in the end!
Don't wait too long🙂 What version do you have?

Bernd Grün
Perfect build, Daniel. 👌 Congatulation!

Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Bernd! Very much appreciated and glasd you like it. 👍 Difficult kit and not perfect built by any means but iam quite satisfied with the outcome too! 🙂

Pietro De Angelis
Impressive airplane and fantastic work, congrats!
The small two-stroke engines that were used to start the engines of this monster in the post war gave birth to the Vespa, a milestone of Piaggio.

Daniel Klink
Hi Pietro! Thank you very much for your nice comment!
And for the extra information about the Vespa history👍

Pietro De Angelis
👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Late to say this, but that is.....great! Congratulations to this beautiful outcome Daniel!!

Curatorm
Awesome work!

Daniel Klink
Never to late Roland an thank you very much Mates 👍 Very much appreciate your kind words 👍
