A miniature representation of the ME 410 Hornisse

The Italeri 0074 - 1/72 ME 410 Hornisse Model Kit offers a scaled recreation of the Messerschmitt ME 410, presenting modellers with well defined lines and components that reflect the real aircrafts roles during the conflict. The kit suits enthusiasts who prefer historically grounded subjects.

Significance of the ME 410 and modelling appeal

Responding to earlier design limitations, the ME 410 brought refinements to aerodynamics and firepower. Its use as a long range fighter and reconnaissance plane provides varied paint and marking options that interest collectors and display builders.

Build considerations and finishing pointers

The 1/72 format offers a compact display size while retaining key details. Expect precise parts that benefit from careful preparation, test fitting and a measured painting approach. Once complete, the model is an attractive addition to any WWII aviation grouping.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit provides good baseline detail, but modellers seeking extra realism can add resin or photoetched sets. Check compatibility with 1/72 scale upgrade items before purchase.
Use careful sanding and filler on seams, then re-scribe panel lines if needed. A primer coat will reveal imperfections to correct before final painting.
Work with high quality fine brushes and consider a wet palette for better control. Painting subassemblies before joining can help maintain clean edges on tiny parts.
Keep models dust free in a display case or under a cover, avoid direct sunlight and store at stable room temperature to prevent paint fading or warping over time.
