Completed Revell Pro Modeler 1:48 Messerschmitt Me 410B-6/R-2 Cockpit Canopy

Thank you Subaroomike.  I'm glad you asked me about my name.  It was as if I could walk through my past and recall everything.  Thanks for the visit.

Allan Toshio Miura Jr.

Awesome!  My middle name is Edward -- yours is much more interesting (in a good way)!

Nice 410, its an aircraft I will have to build one day. I like the splinter camo.

I bought the same kit at Hobby Lobby recently now I'm going to have to take a closer look at it

 

 

 

 

I'm sure my kit was the one in a million kit as far as the canopy is concerned.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well this kit was built.  Pro-modeler did a fantastic job.  I can say that I can recommend this kit.  Thank you for the visit.

Just a heads up about Hobby Lobby.  I once bought a kit from there that was SEALED.  Once I got home and opened it, the kit was obvioulsy stared: parts glued, decals cut, etc.  I called Hobby Lobby (I live 1.5 hours away) to ask if they re-seal returned kits, as it was obvious they do.  The manager replied "never".  After a little digging around and talking to the right people (at a different Hobby Lobby via the phone) Hobby Lobby does, in fact, re-seal returned kits. They have a shirink-wrap tool -- device --machine -- thing.   I'm not saying this happend to your kit, this situation just made me think of it. I know you go to Hobby Lobby often, so it's good information to have. 

I thought your realy name was Toshi.  What does Toshi mean? 

 

Ever since I started playing my trumpet, I've been called Toshi so as to not confuse people, you see, if someone calls for Allan, my dad or I will both answer.  Hence Toshi.  Playing jazz for all those years (Being away from home at 17 years old, I did not have to answer to Allan, as back then, when my father was alive) being called Toshi has stuck with me since a child.

My immediate family calls me Junior.  When Mrs. Toshi gets mad at me, I'm called something else that I cannot repeat here on this forum.  LOL!  Toshi means a happy beginning or New Year, to celebrate.  Thank you for the visit!

How odd, this pin was at the bottom of the canopy box.

To my fellow forum members,

A few builds ago, I found this kit out of all places, Hobby Lobby!  Upon opening the box I noticed something was not quite right.  The canopy glass was warped from some kind of exposure to the elements. 

I requested, a new spruce of clear pieces.  As you can see, I just received this today.
