The Fujimi 1/48 Bf109K-4 which I will do as a late war Kurt.I have some cockpit parts painted.
I added the cowl parts and exhausts. Now the “unfun” part of filling the lines not used on the K-4. I wished Fujimi would make separate parts for each sub type. I am willing to pay extra to save my fingers and sanity.
I read when on the ground static the small outer doors on the outer side of the wheel wells were closed. I gave the Fujimi ones a test fit.
I did some research and it looks like the small doors can’t be closed as they are mechanically operated. So I removed them and will add them in the open position as my subject had them until the end of the war. I filled the holes next to them on the wing for the rocket pods that I won’t use.
Thanks for posting. I really like this kit - it was so cool 40 years ago. Trying to find another one. Just recently I described it to the folks on another site.
I will be watching.

Thanks Fred. here is another Fujimi, recently repopped by KA. It’s a Bf109G10 or supposedly some say a G-14AS. I did it as Red 2, Rita.
I just sprayed the bottom and sides of fuselage a greenish yellow color. I think it was RLM 99. It is on the chart below on the right bottom corner.
I still think this Fujimi model is worth building. Red 2 looks great. Love the unusual mix-n-match finish of late war Luftwaffe planes.
