08070 Hasegawa 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf109K-4 Aircraft

Additional Information

Bf.109K (Elector*) (the letter I, the Ministry of aviation did not use, but J was rated modification fighter with an engine Hispano-Suiza), was a modified version of Bf.109G-10, which received a number of factory-installed kits used on g-series aircraft and some aerodynamic improvements.
the First pre-production Bf 109K-0 - appeared in September 1944 and differed from the last modification of the series G increased hood height, elongated cook and two trimmers on the rudder. The plane was put the so-called lantern "Galland", wooden keel, retractable tail wheel on an elongated rack. Armament consisted of a motor 30-mm gun MK 108 and two 15-mm guns MG 151 on the fuselage, and half open. If the pre-production Bf 109K-0 were equipped with 605db DB engines with afterburner GM 1, the serial received DB 605ASCM or DB 605DCM - the latter with GM 1. The first aircraft came off the Assembly line in October 1944, It was the model Bf 109K-2 and K-4, characterized only by the sealing of the cabin on the latter.
the Last aircraft of the K-4 series received a 30-mm MK-103 gun instead of the MK-108 engine, but the 65-mm cover covering the barrel of the gun made the replacement of the latter in the field a non-trivial task. The MK-103 gun was also mounted on the Bf.109K-6, whose main task was to fight the bombers, for which he carried two 30-mm MK-103 in underwing gondolas, however, the fuselage MG.151 were again replaced by 13-mm mg machine guns.131. Supplies Bf.109K-6 in the fighter group began in January 1945, until the collapse of the "third Reich" received only a few such machines – given that its takeoff weight (3600 kg) were so poorly managed, it really was happiness for Luftwaffe pilots in the complete superiority of the allies in the air.
