Daniel,

Very good looking plane! I noticed that you have been posting many pictures, thank you for that. Your models are well done. Can you tell us anything about the build of the kit (and the others you posted)?

Plane looks great. I have one of these half finished. The canopy gave me a real hard time. It is split at the top and I could not get the seam out. How did you do yours? Thanks for posting

Thanks Dereck and Taylor.

The kit is very good. It has a great instruccion sheet with lots of photos of diferents parts of the plane.

Taylor, I agree with you about the canopy. You can see in this photo that it came in half,





In this cases I use the Model Master clear parts cement & window maker. It gives me very good results.

The plane looks great--I am trying to finish one also!! I didn't get picky looking over your plane but the one thing that stood out was that maybe you had a bit too much weathering from the fuselage guns. These guns articulated up and down and probably didn't fire in the same position all the time if at all. I have seen several photos and read where they lowered these guns when parked to keep moisture from getting into the barrel? Anyway-great job on the plane!!

Great build, very nice weathering, although maybe slightly overdone with the dark spots on the inner portions of the wings. I assume these are fuel spills?
The camouflage looks great and the chipping looks very realistic and not overdone.

What version of the 410 is this? It looks like it has twin 30mm guns installed in the bomb bay. I have never seen that before. Very interesting to see.

Thanks for sharing

Yes, I agree with you about the weathering.

Jesper, this is the B-2 version. The plane was almost identical to the Me 410A-1 but all the airframes were new and not converted from the Me 210
