    Airfix 1/72 Me410

    This is my first foray into the rebooted Airfix range and it won't be my last. I already have their Gannet waiting in the wings. The kit goes together really well and there are several build options available including gear up or down, flaps extended or not, etc.

    Paints are a mixture of Mr Color, MRP and S M S, finished in Mr Color GX-113 matt varnish. Nothing much in the way of weathering but I liked the clean look. I made a pigs ear of the canopy but hopefully it isn't too noticeable.

    As always, thanks for the great comments throughout the build log.

            That is a really nice model Andy. All credit to you. As you say the newer Airfix kits are very good and you've made a fine job of this one.

                      Thank you very much gentlemen. It's a cracking little kit that I'd recommend to anyone.

                      It's booth filter material. I have a load of it but it makes a nice cloudy background.

                        Very nice indeed Andy.
                        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
