MattH912 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi all Here is my completed build of meng's ME-410 B2/U-2, the kit itself is a real mojo booster, no issue at all with about 99 percent of the kit, the only issue I came across is a well known one with this kit and that's the very over engineered canopy, it comes in 6 pieces and I made a bit of a dogs dinner with it. Apart from that I had no issue with the kit at all. I painted the model in AK real colours, this was my first time using AK's lacquer paints and they where beautiful. I used an after market metal gun barrel for the MK 214 but really this wasn't necessary or worth the trouble in drilling the extra space for it to fit. Definitely have to add another one of these kits in my stash. Kind regards 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Really nice work, the prop swirls are particularly well done. Everyone is enthusing about these AK laquers, I think I shall have a go with them. Do they need glossing up before decaling? Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Thank you, I purchased a mask set for the swirls, and yes you definitely need to gloss over before the decaling the paints dry very matte, I used Mr Color gloss varnish and had no issues at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Good looking 410. Glad to hear it goes together without drama as I have one to build (and the Master 50mm gun barrel) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werdna Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Nicely done and great paintwork. I built the Revell 1/48 kit a while back and it looks like the canopy fit here is a lot less problematic. I have a feeling, however, that the main gear legs are not correct in the pics. The 410's main gear torque links were forward facing, not rear facing. I don't know the Meng kit, so I'm not sure if it's an easy fix or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
