Giampiero Piva Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 After the post on the general construction (https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235097968-messerschmitt-me-410-eduard-‘profipack’-fine-molds-172/&tab=comments#comment-4167868 ), here is the second of the three 'animals', which required some changes in the compartment for photographic equipment, with the addition of an R b50/30 (OWL R72047) and the transformation of that supplied by the kit (horrible) in a Rb 20/30. The aircraft shown is a Me 410 A-3, belonging to the 3.(F)/122, operating from Perugia (Italy) in April 1944. The model, totally brushpainted, is in the classic RLM 74/75/76 (mixes of Humbrol Enamels). Finally an image of the lower surfaces. Hope you like. Thanks for viewing.

Duncan B Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 As always, another truly inspiring paint finish that us airbrushes struggle to achieve. Did you have any problems with the base kit? The one I built fought me all the way with one fuselage side being slightly shorter than the other and the notorious engine pods not only being too big but not wanting to line up properly to the wing mounts.

ArmouredSprue Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finest work as usual. This kit should be a better build than the Italeri 210 I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Giampiero, as the others have said, your brush painting skills are better than we mortals who wield airbrushes; I am amazed at how you are able to do the fuselage mottling, as it looks like it was applied with a very expensive dual action airbrush. The 410 has always been my favorite Luftwaffe twin, and you have nailed the recon version, in my humble opinion! (Are you sure you're not related to @tonyot?) I can't seem to airbrush Humbrol enamels unless I thin the bejeezus out of them, and you brush paint with the stuff? I'm soooo jealous! How about a Hasegawa Ta-154 Moskito to go with this one? Mike Before I forget, your cockpit is incredible! What did you use for the RLM 66, as it looks dead on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Groan.... This is just too good. It's enough to make you bite your razor saw in half in temper. 1/72? Brush painted? I need to lie down. Superb job, sir, absolutely superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
