Me - 410 completed.

grenadier: Not just astounding....inspiring as I look to begin an He111. Which paints did you use. The scheme came out wonderful. You certainly turned that kit into a winner.

The -410 looks good! I have to getr me one of those soon!

By the way, if you use brake fluid, it strips the paint off quickly and easily, and doesn't cloud the canopy.

Rather pleased?  You should be ecstatic.  That is a nice lookin’ bird.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

This was really a nice kit with very little filling or sanding required. If you get a chance grab one if you come across it. I just started the Pro Modeler 1/48th Do-217, a relativley hassle free build as well thus far.

I used MM arcrylics for the 410. I picked up the MM Luftwaffe enamel set with hopes of using it but I can't seem to get my ratios right with the enamels using my Badger LG-100 at low PSI.

I'll have to remember the brake fluid for future corrections, thanks!

Very nice build Ray.  Great work on the camo.  The damage to the canopy isn't evident in the pics.

Regards,  Rick

Wow!  Very good job!  I hope I can do as well.  Camo pattern done great.

That's a great looking model....nicely done.

Jerry

Thanks again guys. I'm glad the camo look's good. I messed up the mottleing twice and thats why I had to strip some paint off and start again. Very thin paint with a very low PSI did the trick finally!

Ray

Excellent work.

Mine is sitting as I can't figure out how to attatch the canopy with the multi-piece fixed halves and make it look reasonable. How did you do it? You can PM me if you don't want to give up the secret.(then I'll post it!)

Thanks

Drew

nice looking 410, especially the mottle on the fuse.

jim

Nice build Ray, love the spinners

Thad

Excellent, excellent work! 

Cheers,

Mike

Nice! Very neathly looking model!

I've always wanted to build a Me-410, well, you'v convinced me... I'll buy me one as soon as I spot one at my LHS!

Cheers,

Jürgen

Excellent job on the build, Ray!  As others have said, the canopy looks fine.

Mark

Wow, thanks for the kind words!

Drew - just dry fit the canopy over and over. You're gonna have too because the angle of the canopy length does not match that of the airframe - some sanding and filling will be required especially towards the right rear of the canopy. Fortunatley, the rest of the kit goes together very well.

Ray

This is great looking ME-410, you just have to love "not so famous" airplanes I have a question about antenna. How did you do this?

Gumiflex

Gumiflex - I used clear water based glue (the type used for clear parts). Just use a toothpick dipped in some white - clear glue and touch it where you want the conductors (?) to be. Once it has dried you may have to add an additional layer until you are satisfied with the shape and size. Then I painted mine with flat white. I probably should have used a grey instead though.  It's a trick I swiped form this forum a couple of years ago. Hope it works for you!
