wayne/daniel are those two aircraft the ones that revell depict in the kits decal sheet ?
as i've just realised the online sheets i've looked at on the revell website are for the 1/32 K-4

A question, since I have minimal experience the last 20+ years with models, I still plan to use flattened wheels, not oot decals but aftermarket ones and possibly prepainted instrument panels, how does work with the classes then...? 8)

those seem minimal changes to me lucky, not like your planning to use etched wheel bay liners,seatbelt and cockpit kits etc so i see no problems if you're entering in the beginners class

Just checked the late war colours....BEWARE the RLM82 and RLM83 are incorrectly matched up!!

RLM 81 is the Dark Brownish Green.
RLM 82 is the Bright/light Green.
RLM 83 is the Dark Green.

 

[109ROAMING]

[Wayne Little]

ok after a quick look at daniels post and cross referancing with the sheet for revell's 1/32 bf109 K-4 for JG/27 i think the scheme for my K-4 might be RLM 76/02/81/82 what do you guy's think

 

[Wayne Little]

Well, Rochie....been studying the couple of photo's and doin' some reading...while watching Liverpool V Newcastle....

While I don't claim to be an expert on 'reading' B&W photo's Red 7 appears to have a low contrast scheme of probably 81/82 or 81/83 especially on the fuselage, a high contrast scheme of 75/83 would be rather obvious....much like the rudder shows, which just may be a replacement unit in these colours?

The port wing looks to be a lower contrast, bit washed out by the sunlight, than the visible portion of the starboard wing....it is possible that the wings could be 75/83...the aircraft for the most part were made in sub assemblies and were painted as such, then brought together for assembly.

there is one aircraft in the JaPo book that certainly fits this hypothesis.

...and red 7's style of camo probably puts this K-4 in the 331XXX W.Nr. block made in Nov-Dec 1944.
