Wow, great looking model!!
Out of curiosity, it seems to me that this Messerschmitt 108 and the Saab Safir are greatly similar in appearance... Did the designers get a common inspiration or is it coincidence?

Thanks guys!
Pierre, not sure where the Saab engineers got their inspiration. Would be no surprise if they looked at the Bf 108 (like a couple others did) being the 10 years older design. The 108 is from 1934, the Saab from '44/'45.

Makes sense then! I guess it's the ransom of success, people copying your design and all...  ;D I looked at the price, I might have to wait a little bit though.

Service Pack 1 has now been released, go get it while it's hot! :-)
Service Pack 1 includes, apart from a few minor bugfixes and cosmetic texture improvements, a number of new features and functions:
The pilot now has company in the cockpit. New passenger figures on all seats are visible in exterior view, configurable using a new manager interface. The new real time manager provides quick access to fuel and payloads and to a number of commonly used simulation commands.
In preparation for the comming cold season there is now a visible and audible preheating aggregate available that facilitates engine cold start and helps avoiding engine wear.
For a complete description of all features please visit the Bf108 product pages at www.classics-hangar.de and download the updated user manual.
