This sheet covers six different Me-410s. The standard color scheme for this aircraft is RLM 74/75/76 with varying amounts of mottling on the side and tail in RLM 74/75/02. For kits, the preferred one is by Fine Molds, but it may be a bit difficult to find. You can also use the rather old one by Frog/Revell or even the Matchbox version, though you might have to do some fudging with some of the decals.
First aircraft is a A-3 variant from 2./AKG 122 and is in all respects a standard aircraft. Only the white rear fuselage band and grey segment in the rudder add any interest.
From an unknown unit comes the next A-3 version. This one has red spinner fronts and large areas of bare metal on the rudder, gun barbettes, canopy frame and upper engine cowlings.
From I./ZG 26 comes this next plane. It has just a white fuselage band and white spinner spirals to make it different from the norm.
A II./ZG 76 A-1 variant is next in late war colors of RLM
81/83/76. This aircraft also has the gun barbettes removed and carries a
white fuselage band. These markings are in one of the Fine Molds kits. A
photo of this model is below.
Next is the B-2 version with the large cannon. This one is from 6./ZG 26 with a white band on the fuselage. The first two code letter positions have been painted out and the fuselage cross has been filled in with RLM 75.
Finally, another B-2 variant from II./ZG 26 with the now common white fuselage band.
The sheet provides enough common markings to do all the aircraft on the sheet.
