1/32 Hasegawa Bf109K-4 Weisse 8
Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2019 12:29 pm
Hello Spammers! I'm going to see if I can keep two builds going at once. I'm almost to the halfway point on the Corsair build and once the wings are complete, painting will begin and I think that is a good time to have another project going.
This is the Hasegawa Bf109K-4 kit. I've not built this one yet but having built the Hasegawa Fw190D-9 three times, I feel a sense of familiarity as I look at the sprues on this kit.
I'll be adding quite a bit of aftermarket to this build including, in no particular order:
1. Eagle Editions 109K-4 Resin Cockpit Set
2. Henri Daehne 109G/K Resin Prop Set
3. RB Productions 109K-4 Wheel Well Detail Set
4. RB Productions 109G/K Erla Canopy
5. Barracuda Studios 109G/K Resin Wheels
6. AIMS Late War 109s Decal Sheet
7. Eagle Cals 109K-4 Decal Sheet
8. Airscale Luftwaffe Instrument and Placard Decal Sheets
The aircraft I will be modeling is White 8, Werk Nummer 332884, which was captured on this striking color photo:
It's represented in this profile painting by Claes Sundin:
And also recently by AIMS Models on their Late War 109s decal sheet:
Since I have Silhouette Portrait cutter, I will be using the AIMS decal sheet to produce masks for the major markings. The only decal I will be using from the AIMS sheet will probably be the "Gabi" inscription below the canopy.
The Eagle Cals 109K-4 sheet will be available for stencils. I am going to try and use the AIMS and Eagle Cals decal sheets to produce masks for the spinner spiral.
