For now it waits for me to finish current projects, but I'm eager to start it...
Currently looking for some good reference pictures of DB 601F in its nacelle, with wiring and everything... Any help?

Thanks, Holger, but that's what I already have read, and more - unfortunatelly most of these pics are of naked engine, not the one installed. I even have a manual for 601A-B, but I'm not sure if lines/pipes go the same way, and what are colors of those...

Hi...I found five pdf's solely dedicated to the Me 210...in only one did I find a picture of the engine...seems to be a rare sight... (i can share the pdf's if you like)

Hi Wim, thanks for offer - you could just give me names of files, and I'll check if I already have it (have quite a library😉😢

The Podzun Pallas book is the only one where I found a pic of the engine + one crashed plane with the engine next to it...

Now I'm looking again at Podzun Pallas book - those two pics help a lot, thanks for the tip 🙂
BTW, in addition to what you mentioned, I have also Russian Tornado Airwar 123 - Me 210/410, Russian Eksmo - Luftwaffe Zerstorers. Bf 110/Me 210/Me 410, and WM 33 - Messerschmitt Me 210-410 (prequel to WM 130) 🙂

I also have some Russian pdf's (altough I can't read any of them) they also have some interesting pics in them....would you mind sharing them with me?

I had to start painting from the scratch, since MM acryl paints are useless with paintbrush. I bought new enamel paints from Humbrol RLM range, but am not satisfied with its quality at all - much worse than usual Humbrol 🙁
Anyway, plane is painted, now to attach some PE parts before glossing it as preparation for decals...
