1/72 Heller - Messerschmitt Bf 108 B Taifun

A refined pre-war liaison aircraft, the Bf 108 is reproduced with a smooth fuselage and canopy. The model appeals to those who appreciate sleek civil or utility types.

Heller aircraft kits are known for their distinctive blend of classic charm, unique subject choices, and European flair. While not always as finely detailed as the latest tooling from bigger brands, Heller kits often focus on less mainstream aircraft—particularly French and European designs—that are rarely produced by other manufacturers. This makes them a popular choice among enthusiasts looking to expand their collection beyond the usual Spitfires and Mustangs.

The kits generally feature older moulds with raised or engraved panel lines, and while detail may be modest, the parts fit is typically solid. With a bit of extra care and aftermarket support, these kits can build into highly satisfying and distinctive models.
