1/72 Me-410 Hornisse / Italeri 074
Hi all,
this is the Italeri Me-410 Hornisse, started around 1999, finished 2020 (that's quick, isn't it? ).
Some parts were missing and had to be scratch built, but it was still almost complete after all those years.
This is how I picked it up again:
This is the result:
Thanks for looking
KM

I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped...

I would call this a perfect restauration. Great work!

I would call that a slow build - but it was worth the effort!

Very elegant build of an elegant aircraft KM. I've always rather wanted one of these.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Very nice indeed. I built that Matchbox kit a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it,

It's a great looking model , did it need much filler,I don't have much luck with Italeri kits.Nearly every one needed filler.

I must confess I don't clearly remember about the amount of filler, I assembled it in the very early 2000s, so I'm not sure enough now to give a recommendation or not for this kit, sorry.. I remember the 109s needed some filler probably due to their modular approach to represent multiple variants.

Great recovery there KM - I really should do more early Luftwaffe aircraft, brush painting the later ones is a tad challenging!

That was one of the reasons for choosing this scheme...
Airbrushing the late war schemes is a little challenging as well, and the challenge in this case was already restoring the old kit

Yet another first class resto from you, KM, that is a great looking Hornisse. I also find the late war Luftwaffe schemes featuring mottling a challenge and I'm an airbrush user.

Thank you
Seems I am doing more restaurations than building kits from the beginning to the end...
But surely this way my stash will become smaller...
somewhen....
Yeah ok probably this will not be the case...
But it's fun and I heard somewhere that's what a hobby is about
