The cockpit bulkhead behind the pilots head on the bf109K was flat with a hinged access panel, the one you used with box like shape sticking partially out was used on the late Gustav's like G-14's. It's use is to accommodate the battery but that was relocated into rear part of the fuselage by the time the K version of the 109 along.
Agree, this originally was a HobbyCraft of Canada kit, Academy did all of their molding.Built this kit when it first came out. Also, the red tulip is NOT a Hartmann machine. I believe its for another JG52 ace/staff pilot (don't have my reference at hand, sorry).
Interesting to see what you can bash up in a pinch. Might be kind of a fun "clear the deck bash" type of series to do occasionally. A kind of clearing of the random stuff leftover and see what comes of it. If you enjoyed doing it, that's the proper accuracy, it's a hobby after all.
Hartmann=black tulip; Graf=red tulip. Bulge behind pilots head is a cover for relocated battery on 'G' versions; 'K' versions did NOT have this bulged cover.
I have to ask as an old old model maker from wayyyyy back do we not now put the we all know what decal on the tail plane anymore even though it’s part of the history of the aircraft is it that pc

This video is a great point of reference on correcting the kit. Great work

The pilot was Herman Graf using the red tulips
Excellent kit mod. Thanks for posting.

Nice build 👍
Nice 109! 👍
nice build but i think the landing gear legs on the k ´Kurfürst were painted red
I'm eager for Eduard to do a K version...

The Eduard Kurfurst can't come quick enough.

Being pc is such a pain these days. I use them on all my Luftwaffe tail fins.
What model of Cricut machine do you use?
