For the second new 109K-4 sheet, we also see a few old faves and some new ones as well. Again, this sheet is available in all three major scales, but this sheet is the 1/72 version.

First up is Black Chevron from Stab III./JG 27. It is in RLM 75/83/76, which seems to have been a standard scheme for a lot of Ks so I'll call it the 'K standard'. It has the green JG 27 home defense band on the aft fuselage.

Next is Yellow 1 from 11./JG 53 in the K standard scheme, though the upper RLM 75 is a bit lighter than normal and could be RLM 77 (editor's guess). This has JG 53s black home defense band.

Black 8 is from 14./JG 53 in the K standard scheme. It also carries the Black home defense band of JG 53

Finally White 10, also in the K standard scheme is from 9./JG 27 with a smaller than normal green home defense band.

Many of these planes had an RLM 81/83 fin and/or rudder as these parts were made separately in small wood shops. You'll also find that quite a few 109Ks had the main gear doors removed and the tail wheel fixed in the lowered position with the tail wheel doors either made inoperative or removed.

I should also point out that most of the fuselage crosses are filled with dark green  and to my eyes, the sheet crosses all seem to be black.
