Meng 1/48 Me 410

[Guest]

Hi all,


This is the start of my build of the Meng Models Me-410 B2/U4


[ATTACH]100978.IPB[/ATTACH]



As you can see from the box, it's the bomber-killer with the 50mm gun


As is traditional , I've started with the cockpit! I painted it RLM 66 & then lightened it up with a touch of white in the mix.


First the pilots bit

The instruments are (badly!) painted in accordance with nothing other than my imagination


Then the rear gunners station

A quick silver drybrush, the Eduard seatbelts & we're done. I'm not going to bother with a wash.


Thanks for looking

Thanks guys! I really like the lines of the 410, it's like the German Mosquito.


To speed things up, I'll probably cut some corners - the cannon gunbay under the pilots cockpit can't be seen, so I'll probably skip that area.


The cannon can be recycled into another project

Very nice start, love the cockpit.

Nice start. I like the 410 too. Never heard of Meng as a brand, I'll be interested to see this one.
