Gazzas Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thank you, Martin. I always look forward to and dread pulling off the canopy mask. Decaling now! Gaz Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Got the clear coat on and decals. The decals are Cartograph and perfectly in-register. I just picked the nicest looking option from the kit decals as I have scant knowledge of the men who flew these. Got a birthday party today. Hopefully I can squeeze in some work with the oils.

mustang1989 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Paint is looking top notch there Gaz. I do love these birds. Such a sleek looking aircraft. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Any time I think of the 410, this image comes to mind, and it really gives me chills. If anyone ever had any doubt about these big beasties coming into contact with US heavy bombers, this should put that to bed. Taken from the radio room window of a B-17: messerschmitt-me-410 by Dennis SAuter, on Flickr Your build is looking fantastic, and that subtle difference in the paint you were looking for, you definitely nailed it. Well done, and I look forward to the completed model! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Kagemusha, Out2gtcha, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi Everyone, Time to call this one completed. I enjoyed building the kit as it was a completely new airframe to my clumsy hands, and most of the details were adequate enough to feel that I could go without buying AM parts. The too-short spinners are a well known flaw, but easily fixed. The tires are overly large and much of the surface detail is a little trench-like. Other than that, the only things I would change if I were on the kit's production team would be to add a second, simplified canopy in two parts, and correct placement of the foremost pins on the Wf.Gr 21 rocket launchers. I didn't notice they were wrong until too late. I had my own quest for surface detail, and I have to admit this is probably the heaviest weathering I've ever applied to an aircraft model. If anybody has any helpful critique, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for looking! Gaz SapperSix, Old Dog, Shawn M and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Outstanding work mate!! I really hope we see this airframe in injection molding in 1/32 sometime!! Really like the finish and camoflage! Cheers Alan Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Thanks guys! Alan, one issued in IM would definitely have greater pull on me than resin. But I have doubts as they don't have many famous exploits like other well-known aircraft. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
