Even built straight
out of the box, Revell's Kurfuerst comes along nicely, nevertheless I added
quite a lot of goodies to this Messerschmitt:
EagleParts cockpit and spinner, Quickboost gun barrels and exhaust stacks, Aires
wheel wells and some Eduard frets made the "ultimate sacrifice".
I had decided to refine the surface detailing by using Rosie the Riveter which
performed flawlessly in adding rivet lines.
Balk crosses and the
"White 13" were painted using self-made masks, whereas all stencilling
was taken from an EagleCal decal sheet.
Paint-job was done using Gunze acrylics.

My model depicts
"White 13" of 5./JG 11, stationed at Strausberg in early 1945
and was inspired by two photographs I found in JaPo's "Messerschmitt
Bf 109K camouflage & markings".
This build was an
extremely protracted-one as I suffered - every now and then - from a severe
"balk-cross allergy". ;-)
I hope you'll enjoy it.
