Kotare Bf 109K-4 with AIMS decals

A couple of photos before closing up the cockpit area.

And with the cockpit area closed up.

Then mounting the IP, drilling several small holes, and then closing up the fuselage.

Cockpit all closed up.

I'm not sure anyone has shown what is in the front end.

The fuselage closed up really easily. Glue next.

Well, the wings are ready to go together.

And the wings joined to the fuselage.

And the oil coolers, flaps, and ailerons. I chose not to have the oil cooler flaps open.

And yup, the horizontal stabilizer isn't horizontal when the wings are level. I realized it way too late to do anything about it. I'm wondering if it started when I put the tail wheel mount in early so I could paint it inside the fuselage. Wondering if the way to have done it would have been to put it into the fuselage loose when I closed up the fuselage and then add some glue to it. It is noted in the directions that when placing the rudder push rod the rudder will be offset just a bit to starboard on purpose. Ah well.  Off to the paint booth for fun with paint and masking.
