Hi Edward. Glad the videos are useful! The 410 will be...interesting. I hope it goes well and I end up with a neat finished model. Time will tell! I think there will be a fair amount of scratch building and filler to pull this one off. We'll see so stay tuned! -Dan
The sheets with the skins look really nice. Can't wait to see how the panel lines and seams match up. If the fuselage formers have the circular cut out on the same center line use a dowel the right size to keep them inline. Using your new Japanese book binders tool getting the holes the same size should be piece of cake. If you some bun body who has a lathe drill out the bigger dowel to slide in a smaller ones for the tail.
@@dansmith7617 A good plan provided the centerlines line up on center. Say that fast 10 times. And the centering alignment could be rolled paper, wood dowels or K&S brass or aluminum tubing. Wait brass or aluminum tubing on a paper model. Some would consider that sacreligous. Me, I figure what ever works use it. Once on either Papermodelers or th old Card Model site I asked if using Masonite formers on larger diameter are models was cheating*. Then I reasoned. Chipboard is nothing but wood pulp and binder processed partly by running through rollers under pressure. Masonite is wood fibers and a binding agent combined under pressure. Therefore Msonite is just really stiff chip board. 😏 *the cheating comes in having use a saw or a lathe to cut the Masonite.
Should be an interesting one to follow :-) Google lens is pretty good for translating the instructions too, just point your camera at it then hit the lens icon and select translate.
Should be interesting to watch this unfold. Check out the "Neil Paper Models" channel as well, for some very helpful tips on building these kits. Point of note, though. You're confusing the Me-410 with the Me-210. The Me-210 legitimately WAS rubbish. Its centre of gravity was wrong, it was underpowered and it was slow, unreliable and handled badly. After months of frustration the Me-210s were withdrawn and "given" to Germany's ally, Hungary. Hungarian engineers were able to fix the 210's problems, essentially by extending the fuselage to restore the centre of gravity, and making changes to the powerplant. The resulting Me-410 was a very good aircraft.
I really like Neil's stuff. Constantly watching it! I meant that the 410 was shot down in droves when there was fighter escort. Kind of like the 110. Otherwise, it was dang good. The 210 had different wings, some had shorter fuselages and they had smaller engines. May be some more details too but is was cool looking however you are right! Rubbish. I appreciate you looking and commenting. Maybe we can get Neil to make one of these!! Cheers... -Dan
Awesome looking kit there! I'm pretty sure you'll do great. Can't wait to see you start!
Good luck!
Great! Looking forward to another professional build. Got to go and get the kit to build along. I learned sooo much on the Vimy👍

This is such a smart idea. It's sort of how you can get balsa model fuselages straight. All good plans! -Dan

Thanks, Phil. Good idea... -Dan
You could scan that and have someone cut it in aluminium sheet with a Lazer cutter.
Interesting idea...it could also make a neat flying model. So much to do! Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. -Dan
Get translator for your phone.
Should be an interesting build.
