VolkerR. Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 An old kit, but still nice. The clear parts of the cockpit gave me hard fight, the rest of the build was pleasant. PE from Eduard, decals from both boxings, aircraft from Stab ZG26 1944. I used an old set of Ez masks which caused some problems. Still in the end I am pleased with the result: Please comment!

Pete in a shed Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Absolute cracker of a model, great skills. The paint finish is enhanced very nicely by the panel lining Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 We can argue for decades about the usefulness of this plane, but for me, its lines are really graceful and your result is remarkable. Thumbs up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werdna Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Excellent Volker Can I ask what were the problems with the cockpit clear parts? I've got the same kit to build and I'd be interested to know... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So well done Volker! 🍻 That's a real beauty of a model sir! The weathering and paint work look great. Can you please elaborate regarding the issues you had with EZ masks here? I have this same kit and also a set of EZ masks for it, and would like to avoid problems with those if possible. I've used several sets of EZ masks before with varying degrees of success. So, I'm naturally curious about others' experiences with them. Thanks! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front is without any problems, but I had to use filler to cover a step between the rear part and the fuselage. It is visible in the fotos . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a close look at the front and rear windows in the third foto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Excellent build and finish, great work on the cockpit ! Wulfman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanond Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Nicely done. Love the paint job. I still think Revell/Promodeller Me410 is a very good kit even by current standard. Meng isn't that much an improvement. The only thing keeping me from finishing mine is the canopy. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanond I was working on the canopy for hours, first on the masking, then on the fit. Finally I came to a point where I just finished it. I can see the flaws in fit and painting of the canopy, but I can live with it. I am sure yours will come out perfect. Volker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That’s ace Volker! Really nice weathering! Got this one in the stash for years over years! May be I will start now! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
