1/32 Bf109K4 WIP (COMPLETED)

Got the wings attached but ended up with nasty gaps filled with stretched spruce and Plast I Weld.

Then taped up the gap edges and applied PPP and a few minutes later used a damp QTip to wipe the area smooth

Then removed the tape  and ran the damp QTip again to clean up things

Short update. Got the fuselage closed up and the DB605 wired.

Got the fuselage taped up to see how things are fitting. Some plumbing will be next to busy things under the hood.

Very nice looking cockpit!

 

Thanks. I wish Trumpeter had included the correct pit for this variant but they like most model manufacturers like to take shortcuts.

Very nice PJ. I'm loving all the provided detail. 

 

Thanks for checking out things.

Very nice PJ. I'm loving all the provided detail. 

The cockpit is done. Time to move on to the engine compartment.

The gun sight glass will be added once the fuselage is closed.

So I’m working on the pit sidewalls and something just didn’t look right. Did a lot of net surfing for the K pit and seems Trumpeter included the G series parts as the K, no surprise here as I well know that companies often goof details. 

Here is the pit with the included parts

After some corrections on both sidewalls. The right side sidewall panel is the wrong shape and was unable to undue the Tamiya glue securing it so I left it as is. Added some scratch built thingies and now looks like the Kurfürst office.

The K pit is shaping up.   Still lots more stuff to add but it’s moving along.

Next will be some corrections on the side walls for the correct K configuration.

Nice little "mini kits". Amazing amount of detail on the engine and cockpit.

the pit has lots of parts making it very well detailed

Most of the office is done. I went with the pe seat option since it’s more scale like in thickness. All the cannon breech detailed is hidden under the cover and unfortunately not visible but it is very well detailed.

The IP is made out of several parts and will look very realistic once painted and assembled

Thanks guys for checking out and commenting on my build.

Engine is finally assembled, all 52 parts.

That made me both thrilled, and very old at the same time.

I can remember when a 1/48 kit having 52 parts would have been amazing.  And cost some outstanding sum, like $2.95 or some such unbelievable figure.

At the same time, it's a wonderous marvel of our modern times to have such detail available.

And to only consider it a "starting point" for detailing.

Looking good! 

Got the DB motor painted up. Once mounted in the fuselage, plan to add plumbing and wires to busy things up.

I'm always up for a good 109 WIP!

Following this one. Cool scheme. looking good so far.
