Bf109K-4, 'Gelbe 1'

[Werdna]

Hi all

 

This is Hasegawa's 1/48 Bf109K-4, finished in the colours of Lt Gunther Landt.  Landt was a Staffelkapitan with 11./JG53 and flew the K-4 with some success, although this particular aircraft was lost on 22 Feb 45, in a collision with a P-51.  He bailed out, returned to flying and ended the war with 22 victories.  Retired to Munich after the war, I believe.  There are documented pics of Landt sitting in this particular K-4, although unfortunately, none of them are hi-res colour (), so the colours are my interpretation. I took a couple of pics under different lighting just to see how the colours varied and, well..... Anyway, comments welcome, as ever..
