Meng Me-410B-2/U4 1/48

[KevinM]

I have started another little 1/48 seeing space is starting to run out the Meng Me-410 with the only add-ons being the Quintas Interior.The fit thus far has been quite Nice I have even placed the copit and gunner section within the fuselage halves fit looks excellent.The kit also supplies both engines and look like they might be pretty good for 1/48 sadly I will properly close those up once built.I also have the Revell 1/48 in the stash to which I order my mask for it when I ordered this one's mask.I think it was Carl that asked I do a build log then it could of been Paul either way here it is.Pics of work done thus far....

Great start Kevin!

Count me in, Kevin, I have a Meng 410 in my stash and was sometimes urged to build her. If I remember right, the prop and spinners are off and I added some from Aires or Profimodeler. I can look if you´re interested. Cockpit looks really good.

Cheers Rob

I should have mentioned I have a couple of the Pro Modeler kits in my stash.  If I didn't have so many projects going at the moment, I'd try and build one of mine alongside yours.  I think I was going to build one B-2 with the BK5 cannon and the other as an A-1.

Happy to have you along Paul so it must of been Karl who was looking to see her built?

Thanks Rob but she will OOB for the most part except for here once she hits the cabinet no one will know better.

I hear ya Mike the reason I try to keep the number of builds going down as of right now the 410,George and the Scharnhorst.This build will have the cannon out front.

 

Thanks all for popping in to look.

I had a bit of a snafu with the pit the consoles I installed on the opposite sides making the front part of the fuselage not able to close by a 1/16".The other problem was I had glued the the fuse all the way to rear gunners position! I let the rookie mistake sit for a couple of days was looking at ordering another kit and Quintas??The idea came wet the seam down  a curve blade and start the seperation it was complete in 5/10 minutes with zero damage.Once I had the front portion of the pit out could see the consoles extending out beyond the IP.The Quinta's was carefully removed and sanding commenced  till it fit and then reassembly.The wings are now glued on just a little filler up front and below no biggee.
