Me-410

[Otterkins2]

Anyone got closeups of the barbettes on these things? I've got like 6 books and not one of them shows me the detail on these. What is that...a shell ejection port at the bottom? There must be other seam lines on this beast!

Here's what Ive got so far.

i'd guess they would be ejection chutes otherwise you'd end up filling the interior of your plane with not so light shell cases. if i'm right theres a 410 at my local aerospace museum (RAF/DCAE Cosford), the only one left in Europe.

For those who are interested heres its history:

Handy place Cosford! only an hour by train for me, luckily saved some cash by finding a walkaround from cosford for you Otter!

hi otterkins,

well matt beat me, but what the hell, i'll post them anyway, and if ever i find the parts manual i have i will send you a copy, but don't hold your breath, i think it is on my old pc, the one that got fried!






as you can see, there is no weld lines or other seems showing, indeed the square hole at the bottom is the shell case ejector.

Hi, here is what I have already done:

AHA! See, I knew I could count on you guys to come through. Once again Zamex is Johny On the Spot....all stuff I don't have and it makes life a lot easier. Agent posted me a fine site, but the additions fill in a lot of holes similar to the ones in my head if I'm doing stuff like this. There are only two of these beasts left in existance.... one in Cosford and the other at NASM awaiting restoration. Someone in Cosford got the brilliant idea that no one would miss 3 or 4 inches off the props, so they cut them off. Some people should NEVER be given custodianship of historic aircraft...especially ones that are so rare! I think in one photo someone left a cigarette butt in the cockpit! Thanks a million for all your help guys! Now on to the next really confusing bit.....are those screws or bolts? What's this? How did that fit together? Some things you have to guess at, but I try to do as little of that as possible.

Screws

[Otterkins2]

What screws? Anyways, I'm slowly discovering that profiling is very tedious and painful work. You get hung up on little things trying to get it right. Here's the latest. Notice the ammo door pull. I have three different positions now. Which one is right for a 410 B-1?
