Historical Background
The Messerschmitt Me410 was developed as a heavy fighter and served multiple roles including night fighter, bomber destroyer, and reconnaissance aircraft. Entering service in 1943 as a replacement for the Me210, the aircraft featured distinctive twin gun barbettes and was essentially a development of the 210 with a lengthened fuselage, revised wings, and more powerful engines.
The Me410 is undoubtedly one of the most impressive looking aircraft types of the Second World War. Today, just a single complete example exists on display anywhere in the world at the Royal Air Force Museum's RAF Cosford site - the very aircraft Airfix scanned for this exciting new model tooling project.
Although an excellent and extremely heavily armed aircraft, the Me410 could not adequately defend itself against the latest Allied single-engined fighters. Production ended in August 1944 when manufacturing lines were switched to producing Messerschmitt Bf 109G fighters for home defence duties.
