TJTX Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Looks like Kotare just announced a Bf109K-4. If i previously missed it sorry for the double post. Sign me up for one or two, or three.... 4
Lusitanian Posted January 21 Posted January 21 It was announced about 9 months ago. There are sprue shots on Basefook. It seems to have big raised panels on the lower wing surfaces that leave me scratching my head, having looked at a good number of real Bf 109s and never seen anything like them. 2
belugawhaleman Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Are the areas adjacent to the raised panels on the lower wing surface places for inserts ? It does look odd. 2

This is a dedicated K-4, not a modular G/K kit. All K-4s had the same wing, so no need for inserts. 3
Martinnfb Posted January 22 Posted January 22 What they tried and failed to portrait are under wing access panels and taping of the wing tip gaps. In both cases everything should be flush. 2
BlrwestSiR Posted January 22 Posted January 22 So they're like the BDR patches on the Tamiya F-4 kits. 2

Count0 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 7 hours ago, Martinnfb said: Yup, pretty stark. First I am seeing this, but it only appears in this photo as the near camera side is stepped, not the away side. Also there's a raised strip at the upper wing tip joint that's not on the opposite wing? Weird. Maybe it's a manufacturing flaw? I do hope they fix that before it comes out. I don't want to taking a sanding stick to my brand new 100 dollar airplane kit. Easy or not. 1

Martinnfb Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Andreas commented on LSP, apparently this issue will be corrected on the production version. I am one , happy camper. 2

TJTX Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 Tried to order, says it can't figure out shipping rates to me and try again later. I already preorded the Spitfire so hopefully the fix it soon so I can order. 1
