Kotare Bf 109K-4 with AIMS decals

[denders]

This is for a GB elsewhere but I'm going to share it here too.

For those who are interested, this is the contents of the box.

Now, I'm patiently awaiting the decal sheet from AIMS so I can choose a subject and be sure of the options available in the kit.

BTW, this will be my first Kotare kit to build. I do have some of the Spitfires in the stash.

These came today. I'll have to spend some time and choose which aircraft.

Now we're talking.

Okay, the HGW seat belts have arrived. The 1Man Army masks arrived last week. I guess it's time to really get started.

I have not used either of the items before. Adventures here we come.

I haven't physically started, but I think these are the markings/aircraft I'm going to model. Lots of colors.

I'm in the progress of deciding what color I'm going to use to be RLM 77 since MRP doesn't make it in their lacquer line. They do have it in their aqua line, but I don't want to mix paint types.

I've used both. The masks are sublime. Careful application and removal will allow re-use. 10/10

The HGW seatbelts are a pain in the ass. that said, nothing comes close to how good they look in place. 1/32 scale PE belts are just not acceptable after you have seen these. They need way better instructions. Find a good photo of the actual belt. It will help a lot.

The HGW belts are easiest assembled with the PE-buckles still on the fret. It´s easier to fiddle the paper parts through then.

Like already said, 1ManArmy are fantastic mask! If you use carefull in the remove, you can re-use them.

 

As for the HGW seatbelts, for me, despite the hard work they represent, they are the best in town!
