Airfix 1/72 Me410

[Andy T]

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.

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

Mick said it “WOW” that BW pic is so convincing great finish and the painting was superb

 

[Andy T]

Thank you all again, I'm glad you like it as much as I do.

Someone on the Airfix group mentioned that it wouldn't be taken seriously without the swastika, but Airfix chose not to include one in the kit and they are controversial on social media anyway, so chose not to add it rather than open that particular can of worms.
