    filled foot step and hand grip on the right side. Well, loooking at real K-4s, some have no step and grip, some seem to have at least a step, and some seem to have both but sealed/filled

    filled the small ventilation openings and cut out the missing shell ejection opening for the engine mounted 30mm Mk108, this opening is on the right side, found a pic of proof, the drawing in the JaPo really shows it on the wrong side
    seems logical that the opening is on the right side because the 109 center racks are offset to the left, so there would be not enough free space for the shell ejector

    This is a kit I have been thinking about getting. I like the paint scheme your dad has picked out. He is doing an excellent job with it, as usual. 🙂 Thank you for starting another build journal for our Luftwaffe group.
