Messerschmitt Me 410

C Marques de Sá Very nice!

Soeren . Count me in

Robert W Martel This is the first "enemy" aircraft I have. I don't usually go for these, not that I don't like a lot of them, I just have too many already. But marked down from $45 to $16.19 @ Hobby Lobby how could I resist!

Geoffrey Young Its a good kit Robert, I have the Pro Modeler kit in my collection, it has some minor inaccuracies, but nothing that sticks out. The new MENG kit is really nice, but a lot more expensive.

Robert W Martel Thanks Geoffrey. It's the only Axis kit or Pro Modeler kit I have. Couldn't pass up such a bargain though!! It was cheap enough I can let my grandson build it.
Yea, that's always the trouble, The Really Nice kits are so $$$$ !!! these days.
I do have some "Nicer" kits, but just can't afford to have all the high $$$ kits I'd like. lol
Cheers !

Kees Kleijwegt Wil je een specifiek model van Pt 1 maken? Ik heb namelijk nog Pt 3 liggen. Die heb ik zo in een envelopje richting de Hoekse Waard gestuurd?

Erik Leijdens Nee hoor dat niet dus jouw setje is welkom wat wil je er voor hebben?

Erik Leijdens Toch maar van gedachten veranderd?

Kees Kleijwegt Oh nee hoor, door de drukte even vergeten.
ik stuur je wel even een pm.

Bart Goesaert nice one... I wish I had half the talent...

Chris Parsons Thanks a lot. Very appreciated!

Holger Kranich Just scanned the net... 295€ Phew... Is there a B-5 Version available?

Chris Parsons Get in touch with David Cooper "Dmcmodels" @ proteus440@msn.com I bought both my Ta154 and this kit from him, his prices were better than anywhere else I looked (that was just before the Canadian dollar tanked too) I'd say tell him Chris recommend him but that might only get me a better deal on the next purchase (lol)
Anyway, hit David and see what he says?
No B5 out that I'm aware of.

Holger Kranich Thanks for the hint and emailadress! You can bet, i´ll get in contact with him!

Chris Parsons putting the main planes on today, what a great fitting kit!

soheil moghisi Very nice

arne vd burg What a beauty Andre !congratulations

Es-haq Khosravi Very nice! Great job!

Łukasz Gliński That is v.nice - mottling looks superb

Jan Simunek Thank you, The model is little bit older (about 10 years). The base kit is original Fine Molds, with gun from conversion set by CMK. Decals are used from Eduard kit.

Bart Goesaert a lot of work went into this cockpit, but it's a gem... very nice work

John E Nice scratchbuilding of the cockpit. Looks very good.

Łukasz Gliński The cockpit is outstanding

Es-haq Khosravi Great! Very nice!

komoras Great scratch build! Can't wait to see it finished!

Antonio R Really great work on the scratch build.

Dan Croke Thanks for the generous comments, it is now completed. I have added some final bench photos and will be taking some better shots at some point soon.

Augie Thats come out really well ! nice clean result

Holger Kranich OOOOps

Clifford Keesler Nice job.

Thomas Bischoff Thanks Gustavo - I used Revell AquaColor only once and had to thin it with about 75% Tamyia thinner for airbrushing. But the color has a nice flow and gives a smooth finish. I asked because your close up fotos also show a very nice and smooth finish. Did you apply a clear coat on top? If yes: also Revell?

Christian Meyerhoff A very nice and clean build of a rare bird. I think this one would come out much better if You use a neutral background for your pics. Cheers mate!

Gustavo Antonelli @Augie, Clifford: thank you mates!
@Holger: No problem! Your suggestions are always welcome!
@Thomas: that's true, Revell AquaColor paints are usually very dense and need to be thinned a lot for airbrushing, but the finish is quite good. I applied a clear mat coat after a Future-like local product (Blem Autobrillo) and decaling, but it's a locally manufactured paint, "Eureka Barniz diluyente", that is really very good, and cheap.
@Christian: Thank you very much! You are right about the pictures. I usually take pictures under natural light, but I took these while there was a very bad weather, inside, with flash. And this didn't help with the final quality of the pictures.

Antonio R Gustavo, that 410 is excellent, well done

Gustavo Antonelli Thank you very much Antonio

Torsten Wendt HI, can you tell more about the quality of this kit? Many THX, Torsten

Thomas Poelkemann very high standart, beautiful molded Resin Fuselage and Wings. clear resin part for the conopy without any blisters. etahed parts for the interior and prepainted part for the Cockpit. various metal (Alu and Brass) parts Gum barrels. Simply wow!!

Torsten Wendt Thank you, I think it's a must have

Holger Kranich Moin Thomas,

Du sag mal bitte, wo hast Du das Ding her? Es scheint niemanden zu geben der diesen Bausatz verkauft... Und ich will ihn unbedingt haben!!!

Thomas Poelkemann Ich habe mir meine aus England (IPMS UK Telford) letztes jahr mitgebracht. Dort war HPH mit einem Stand vertretten. HPH hat aber auch einen Onlinie Shop siehe HPHmodels.cz

Torsten Wendt Ich habe meinen direkt von HPH, hat super geklappt

Holger Kranich Klingt fantastisch, danke ihr beiden! Obwohl 180 schleifen ja auch nicht gerade ein Pappenstil sind! aber irgendwie fasziniert mich dieser Bausatz...

Hunter Cummins I just got this kit

Keith Gervasi Still good kit but I'm not sure why they chose this version. I am going to do a what if (Night cammo scheme).

Hunter Cummins That will be interesting
I cant wait to see it

Keith Gervasi I'm hoping it turns out ok. I am getting pictures of Luftwaffe night maritme bombers(mostly Ju-88 and Do 217s) and thinking of doing something like that.

Hunter Cummins Mind sharing the pictures ???
I wouldmlike to try some to

Keith Gervasi Tried to but can't seem to post em.

Hunter Cummins Hmmmm
can you email them ??

Keith Gervasi Sure

Zoran Jakovljevic Cammo is finished, it's time for glossing it up

Zoran Jakovljevic Decals are on, weathering finished, almost finished! Just to add landing gear and other bits...

Zoran Jakovljevic Progresses as slow as its counterpart, Me 210... :-/

Chris Bumgarner I'm really looking forward to painting this kit. It will challenge my airbrush skills for sure!

Jens congratulations, good choice, has a bit of extra-Aires / better than the material CMK / museum and you Quallität

one year I have probably not built
but it was a wonderful fun

I like to look at, with a BK 5 is still waiting for me +Aires

Chris Bumgarner Ugh. I lost one of the exhausts (probably left it at the last club meeting). Now I have to track down a replacement. Sigh.

Philip De Keyser Great start Chris

Holger Kranich Hey, thats looking cool! I´m in!

Elias Prokopiou Nice clean job!

Claudio Corral del Castillo Built. Awaiting restoration (very badly damaged. Split into three pieces)

Przemyslaw Sroczynski Very nice

Philip De Keyser Thanks mate

Paulo Henrique Marins Cezario cool, very nice.

Heico van der Heide Nice!

Christian Lehmann

Dirk Heyer Nice work with your riveter tool!
Giv`em depth and more structure!
For my opinion it is important to do all necessary tricks to improve the surface of plastic models as you did!
Now you did ones more to prevent a often seen more common playmobil look!
Great!!

Philip De Keyser Thanks mates for the nice comment,
@Dirk, yes it's importent to do the necessary to improve the surface of plastick models, but it's not always that easy, the next model I will improved with the riveter will be the Thunderbolt P47D Razerback From Tamiya.
Greetz Phil

stefan natus Looking out how you going to tackle the motling.

Jens is good, but it can Aires better

Elias Prokopiou I know Jens, but I bought this one back in 1999 when modeling internet was ''short''. Thx

Jens I have the built in, and the new Me 410 I have done my Aires

CMK Version

Holger Kranich Great paintjob!!!

Norman Gruss Gleich mal auf die Liste damit

Holger Kranich Auf jeden! Das scheint mir endlich ein up to date Modell zu sein! Bin gespannt auf Reviews!

Guus Thanks for these reviews Holger.
Looking at those Matchbox kits takes me back to my youth )

Holger Kranich Same here, Guus! Still reminds me of the good ol times

Acki The sprues were in different colours. Glory days!

Holger Kranich I remember how i often scratched money together to get the next kit! Innocent childhood, where are you?

Paulo Monteiro I started gluing plastic with the Airfix, at the time they in plastic bags.
When the Matchbox appeared it was amazing.

Timo Honkanen Oh yes, I remember those plastic bags too, have couple of them still waiting in stash.

Paulo Monteiro That´s a piece of models History, it should remain in the bags!

Timo Honkanen Oh, they are in safe place, but I had to open one. I was building old RAF silver wings and I just had to build that old Hawker Demon.

John Bollig yummy kit, I want one of these....

FlyingCircus I have 2 of the Matchbox Messerschmitt 410 kits, but unfortunately, both without cardboard.
That was just a space problem. So I got rid of the boxes and then packed in a box together several kits. I now have all individually packed in bags. That's almost 400 kits.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench Hoija !!!
Thats a lot .
I got a few Matchbox Kits ,too ( remeber the old times,...sigh(heul).
All time fav. the Calamity Jane M-16 Halftrack.

John Bollig I love old matchbox kits, I never really got much of a chance to buy them when I was younger

Burkhard D What I remember is that when Matchbox kits came out in the mid-1970s, I found that they went together comfortably well compared to the Airfix kits I had been used to. Pocket money provided for one kit a week back then

John Bollig You were very lucky. I lived in the most rural area of the Great Plains... Nothing but wheat, cows and more wheat.

John Bollig Revell and monogram were staples here. It was unusual to find an airfix kit.

Urban Gardini Matchbox and ESCI was easy to get for me in the eigthy's here in Northern Sweden.
