The Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun was a German single-engine sports and  touring aircraft developed by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works). The Bf 108 was of all-metal construction. The Bf 108A first flew in 1934, followed by the Bf 108B in 1935. The Bf 108B used the Argus As 10 air-cooled inverted V8 engine. The nickname Taifun (German for "typhoon") was given to her own aircraft by Elly Beinhorn, a well known German pilot. The Bf 108 was adopted into Luftwaffe service during World War II, where it was primarily used as a personnel transport and liaison aircraft.

I've built my Bf-108 from Eduard Profipack set. It was one of the fastest and simplest construction in my collection. Painted as usual with Gunze C paints. I used Iwata for Neo 0,3mm airbrush for painting camouflage.

Best regards.
