Jim JI found and bought the 1/32 Hasegawa K-4 kit at a recent model show and decided to jump right in. I found an interesting camo scheme and plan to add a bunch of aftermarket goodies including:
Aires cockpit
Barracuda wheels
Quickboost prop
Quickboost exhaust stacks
HGW seat belts
EagleCals #75 decals
I'll use Mr. Color lacquers as usual and just finished the office. Thanks for looking.

Jim JI decided I couldn't live with the zero-detail, cheesy landing gear bays offered in the kit. I removed the sidewalls, drilled holes in the strut wells and adapted the gear bay detail from a Revell G-6 kit I had in the stash. I removed the material accommodate the larger wheels within the increased volume of the blisters on the wings. After painting, I think the landing gear bays look much more convincing.

Jim JBf 109K-4 Black 8 is now complete. I ended up using all the goodies as planned except the Quickboost prop. The spinner was actually out of round and unusable. I used the kit spinner and prop blades, which look decent. Enjoy the photos. Comments and critique are always welcome. Thanks for looking.
