Javlin Posted March 27 #1 Posted March 27 (edited) 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.Pics of work done thus far....

Danstream Posted March 31 #3 Posted March 31 Nice work on those interiors. I always liked the lines of the Me-410. Looking forward to seeing how the build will proceed.

Javlin Posted April 2 Author #5 Posted April 2 (edited) 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.

Danstream Posted April 9 #6 Posted April 9 Good save, Javlin. Nice to see the airframe almost completed.

Javlin Posted April 9 Author #7 Posted April 9 Thanks Dan sometimes letting it sit and mull it for a while does much to solve a problem.I have been working some color today on the plane to which I feel pretty good about.The two boxes on the l/side of the fuse covered up some ole unit markings methinks.I will start to lay down some clear in a bit and start decaling tomorrow night, GrandpaPhil, Landlubber Mike, Canute and 10 others 13
Javlin Posted April 18 Author #8 Posted April 18 (edited) I think it's time to post a few pics she is getting pretty close to the finish line but the further I got into the build the more problematic it became.The canopy is by far the biggest PIA,the white decals (way to thick)and the exact position of the LG?The rear half of the canopy was removed checked for over spray and it BROKE again this time though I hate it got SG it worked and is glued in place.The LG for one the assembly process and angles could be a little clearer the front doors go way way out there mine are to tight( is what it is ) and the LG round stub pretty tight but should be tighter I have pics of the real one's hope I am close enough.The kit is not all bad just has the moments were the Almighty probably is SHH.

Javlin Posted Monday at 10:36 PM Author #9 Posted Monday at 10:36 PM Alright I laid down a tamyia black panel wash.then Florys Sand all covered by Alcad semi clear.The sand looks better in person than in the pics esp. along the fuse giving it a depth look probably be best outside but 100% overcast today. realworkingsailor, Danstream, DocRob and 12 others 13 2

Looks very appropriate. alan Appreciate the compliment Alan I am not one for killing the subject in weathering just enough to make it look used.I do not know how much more staining and such I will do I have a Tamyia Spitfire MkVIII looking at me to which I have never done a 1/32 Tamy kit!

Danstream Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM #12 Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Great result, I like in particular the upper camouflage with its weathering. Very nice! Best regards, Dan PS. I guess it will look even greater if you will use another background color 🙂 Canute, Jack12477, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Current build : Mayflower - AL 1:64, Lady Nelson - Amati Victory 1:64 Completed non-ship builds : Spitfire MK I - 1:48, Arado 196B - 1:32, Sea Fury - 1:48, F-15C Eagle - 1:48, Hawker Tempest Mk.V - 1:48, F104S Starfighter - 1:48 "The most effective way to do it, is to do it" - Amelia Earhart

Javlin Posted 10 hours ago Author #18 Posted 10 hours ago This one hits the cabinet fellas and time to move on to completion of the George.The L/LG was wonky I guess from moving around kept looking looking at some of the pics 🤨.The wing lights were so small I gave up and out came crystal clear to the rescue. realworkingsailor and Jack12477 2
