    It's taken a bit of fussing, but I'm confident now the outline and main panel lines are correct. Now it's time to start screwing with the fiddly details....joy!!!

    The tail filet is bothering me a lot still. Does anyone have a good, clear shot of it?

    Hello gamary,

    You may think me... and if I draw a "Nord 1002 -Pingoin-"?
    This is already possible.

    Do you mean you've already made a profile of the Pingouin? I'd like to see it if it's the case.

    I'm hoping Otterkins will do the line drawings for them. We have several of them operating in the area, so I'd love to profile them. (I also like the original 108, which has a sleek look to it).

    I believe the Pingouin was very similar to the Bf-108, so if I had the reference photos (which I don't) I could very likely modify the 108 to match it. I'd have to see how much of a difference there was. It was decided to have the Nord company in occupied France take over the manufacture of the 108 in order to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production. France produced around 1000 of them I believe, and at the close of hostilities they decided to continue on with production for French military purposes. I think production was discontinued around 1958

    Re: Nimble courier

    I'm compressing pics I took of a Bf 208/Nord 1101. Email with link on its way. Pictures were taken last year when it was flying. Now it's grounded due to engine problems...

    I don't know that much about the different variants (Bf 108/208, Nord 1002/1101/etc.). i'll try to find out more and let you know.

    Re: Nimble courier

    The progress so far. There are still a lot of details to add yet, but I'm still waiting for Jester to get back to me on why my landing gear doesn't work right. I've been at it long enough that I'm a bit myopic now, so maybe a fresh pair of eyes will help.
