Kotare Bf109K-4 with AIMS decals

[denders]

This one is done. The build log is here:

Paint is MRP lacquer line. I used MRP402 because MRP doesn't make an RLM77 in the lacquer line. All national markings were masked and painted. Small stencils and aircraft specific markings are decals. The aircraft specific markings are from the AIMS decal sheet 32D043. Wheels are from Reskit. Seat belts are HGW. MG barrels are from Master. There are several options to choose from while building, outer gear doors, extended or retracted wing slats, extended flaps. I did add some stretched sprue to the air intake. The radio antenna is fishing line, and the canopy hold wire is from 5/0 SS surgical wire bought decades ago to rig smaller scale biplanes.

 

Hope you like it. I thought it would be a colorful addition to the shelf.

 

I do want to build another K-4 with some items that I learned while building this one.

Very nice paintjob and weathering. The cockpit looks fantastic and benefits from the extra detail like the seat belts, etc.

Cheers Rob

Thanks, Rob! 

The kit actually comes with two seats, one with and one without seatbelts. I wanted to try the HGW seat belts.
