Description

The kit is molded in light gray styrene and presented on three parts trees plus a single tree of clear parts. The parts all feature finely scribed surface detailing and no sign of flash. A small bag is included with the decals that contains three turned brass details.

As with many kits in this series, the cockpit is Spartan and would benefit from an aftermarket set or at least some photo-etched seatbelt/shoulder harness.

Assembly of this kit is very straightforward and makes for a quick project. The canopy can be posed open or closed, and you have your choice of turned brass or styrene details in two spots, but otherwise this kit is very simple.

The turned brass parts include a pair of nicely detailed gun barrels for the cowl guns and one pitot tube. You can use the styrene parts that are also included in the kit if you wish.

Markings are provided for one example:

Bf 109K-4, Black 4, Stab/JG 52, Deutschbrod, May 1945
The sheet is beautifully printed by Cartograf and also includes a complete set of airframe stencils.

This will be a nice project for the novice modeler looking for an easy build as well as for the AMS modeler wanting a simple starting point for some super-detailing.
