LM are good to deal with as long as you understand that "Available" means "We haven't got it in stock, but can get it for you". After that they're plain sailing :)

I'm very happy that the 410 is released now. I'll be reviewing it just as soon as it lands, and will be starting an online build pretty quickly after ;)

Oh, now that's a good looking aeroplane! After I've done my Reaper UAV I think I'd like one of them. In fact I WILL be strong, I WILL order one after Christmas....

My mate built their Tortoise in a couple of weekends. The plastic is a little soft but it went together really well.

God's Teeth Mike How many posts!!!!

Warning! High Speed Bombers Are Coming!

Warning! High Speed Bombers Are Coming!

After releasing the characteristic Me410B-2/U4 "cannon-bird" kit, MENG now announces a classic variant of Me410, the Me410A-1 high speed bomber kit. With Dr. Messerschmitt’s unremitting efforts and two years of modification, the twin-engine fighter Me210 which had been deemed hopeless by the Luftwaffe was finally evaluated as “good for war” during its test flight in 1942. The latest variant received a new designation: Me410. Luftwaffe found out in combat tests that the speed of Me410 was only a little lower than that of the latest variant of the British fighter Spitfire. Me410 was also good in flight stability. During high speed bombing missions, Me410A-1 was one of the few bombers which could still effectively break through the interception of Allied fighters. Because Me410A-1 was good in fire power, speed and range, it was also deployed to Zerstörer-Geschwader of Luftwaffe for interception and long-range escort missions.

This LS-003 Me410A-1 high speed bomber kit is in the same 1:48 scale as the preceding LS-001 "cannon-bird" kit. This kit consists of 280 plastic parts on 11 plastic sprues and 18 PE parts on one PE fret. Length and wingspan of this model are 263mm and 340mm respectively. Two complete DB603 engines are provided; bomb bay at the nose and the external pylon are precisely replicated; two different sights and corresponding windshields are provided; two different bombs are provided for modelers’ option. Two painting schemes, the standard bomber camouflage painting of 1./KG51 and standard fighter camouflage painting of 7./ZG1, are provided.

MENG’s LS-003 kit will bring you a classic and accurate model of this German high speed bomber. The modeling process will be very enjoyable.
