1/72 Fine Molds Messerschmitt Me-410 B1


Recommended Posts

Dear fellow Britmodellers,

this is Fine Molds 1/72 Me-410 B1, a commissioned build, with pilot figures but omitting the swastika (on customer's request).

Painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics.

Photos by Wolfgang Rabel.

 

I replaced the kit decals (who had not aged well) with aftermarket items from Aeromaster.

Here, I made a stupid mistake by blindly following the instructions, and placing the Balkenkreuz too far forward.

Note that, one the right fuselage side, the squadron letters "3U" should overlap with the white I/D band.

 

Apart from that self-inflicted problem, I came across some fit issues on the engine/nacelle joint.

I'd recommend to glue each engine half to the nacelle BEFORE fitting them together.

(The kit instructions would suggest to fit the assembled engine to the nacelle, do NOT follow this.)

The fuselage halves had a very prominent seam, that took several sanding sessions to rectify.

 

Gun barrel is a metal item from Fine Molds.
