Kotare 109K-4 incoming!

[TJTX]

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....

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.

Yup, pretty stark.

Are  the areas adjacent to the raised panels on the lower wing surface

places for inserts ? It does look odd.

Nope. This is a dedicated K-4, not a modular G/K kit.  All K-4s had the same wing, so no need for inserts.

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.

So they're like the BDR patches on the Tamiya F-4 kits.

Dare I ask how many cases you're getting? 

Does Kotare offer a case discount?

Exactly, lost in translation or something.

Well, hopefully a sanding stick can fix the problem. Or maybe Kotare will before  production.

Yes, nothing that can't be done.
