Julien Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Looks like MENG as well as providing us with great armour and 1.72 scale aircraft are now moving upto 1/48, this was posted on their Face book Page. MENG will start selling its first 1/48 scale aircraft model kit of the LS series soon. This is Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/U4 heavy fighter known as a bomber-killer. In this kit, cockpit details are accurately reproduced; gun turret in the center of the fuselage can rotate; assembly angle of flap, aileron, elevator and rudder can be selected; engine parts are precisely represented. Having seen many MENG 1/72 “small” aircraft kits, you should not miss this big one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Jim Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I hadn't heard of Meng till yesterday when I got a slip in my Hannants order asking for my input in a "Meng Models Wishlist 2013" A nice little gesture and they will most definitely be getting some trade from me to see what there kits are like. I will also be suggesting some basic things for the wish list like a Wellington bomber.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find Kate Winslet has been measured out as fairly inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I suspect Mike will when Meng send the kit, he's a bit of a 410 fan! Julien Will look forward to that I have a Promodeller version of the Monogram version in the stash and hopefully Mike will make some comparisons to help me decide whether to splash some cash on the Meng version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am sure he will. Also given Mengs pricing policy to date I cant see it being mega expensive either. I see there are some good pics up on mengs site: http://www.meng-model.com/index2_new.php?id=199 Also someone is doing a Work In progress here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234932467 Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
