Hi,
I present you my new modelling, an BF 109 K-4.
For building this kit, I used many things:

- EaglesParts resin for the cockpit
- MDC Spinner and exhausts
- Air Master series for the MG-131
- Stormo! decals Part III

I decided to represent the 109 flown by the LT Gallori.

I started by the cockpit, some pics:

The internal parts of the interior are painted in Tamiya XF-63
The other details are then painted using several shade of acrylic Prince August.

The landing gear :
The brakes hoses are added using fine lead vire. These parts are then painted following the instructions: Rlm 02, aluminium for the shock absorber ,satin black for the wheels and Nota black for the tires. For the weathering I used Pigments CMK.

The propeller and the spinner are painted with RLM 70 ( Gunze H65)

The painted begins by pre-shading the structure lines with black

The rlm 82 et 83 are painted

Wrong colors

As it appears, Michel, the K models were not in the two shades of green like yours. 75/83/76 is a more credible pattern for a Karl. The japos books on the subject gives the camouflage patterns from the serial of production, and none are in 82/83. Toooooo Bad :D :D :D :D

Jean, this K4 is dressed in a speculative scheme. The reference/source for the profile is given below and little is known about the plane or its camo.
