Lindberg 1-72 Messerschmitt Me 410 Kit No 473

Messerschmitt Me 410 Lindberg 1-72 kit No 473 (on the box and instructions).

Finished almost OOB 25Nov1980 as F6+WK/D18. Your typically awful Lindberg kit that needed lots of work to make look decent, carved the two gun ports either side of the nose, the transparencies were terrible with the canopy worst with a glue joint right down the center so I elected to paint in the clear panels to disguise the glued joint. The colour scheme is freelance as the paint scheme on the box top was not able to be verified at the time due to a lack of reference material, so I used "modellers license" to finish it as a sorta "Wild Sau" night fighter Whiff. The decals are incomplete as Lindberg didn't produce the "F6" part of the aircraft codes so I had to do it by hand as well as the "D18" on the tail (the swastiker was also not part of the decals and I didn't have one spare). Didn't come out too bad really.  8)  8)

Interesting to see the improvement in your skills between this period & now.

That cool camo works exceptionally well with the tinted canopy.

Congrats on another winner!
