Beautiful - those Fast Fix engines are gorgeous.

It's an excellent shelf sitter, 3-foot stand off kit with a new set of decals.

I have the P40 AMT and the Italeri p-40 kit in my stash. The AMT plan is better, than the Italeri plan. Italeri does have 4 versions (decals and paints), but the construction of the engines of 2 versions (c&d) are not clear (which part replaces part 59 in version a & b, for the c & d versions). Weight of the nose is not indicated on the Italeri plan

Built mine yesterday. Extremely easy build. The Africa paint scheme can be challenging but I think it looks great. The eduard 109s are decent thecold tamiya kit is still the king

Hey Jon, that really makes a huge difference, I even liked the straight silver engine.. I haven't tried the accessory part market yet, but I'm getting closer to having some 1/48 scale kits come up in the build cycle. Some of the German aircraft model kits have jet engine kits with a lot of detail with tons of hydraulic lines, those are going to be a bit tricky to detail. Thanks for sharing, this video and the other one are super tutorials. Model On Cheers Bob.

Hey Jon. Now I see you didn’t prime the engine was there a choice for this as you were using acrylics? I tend to prime engines in black then build up metallic from there as it helps with the shadow effects. Anyway an awesome vid with great application. Have yet to do a 3d print engine. I might use your approach next time. Thanks and model and of course ride on!

Great video - simple & direct. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Hi Jon. Good Evening from Saturday, 2310hrs (up late doing very little!) Nice work and very much the improvement over the kit offering that looks like a Wasp Junior! That being said, I have 2 x Armory Models 3D printed R-985 Wasp Juniors that I hope to use on the Revell(ICM) 1/48 Beechcraft Model 18. Multipart units. I also have a Metallic Details Twin Wasp to use on the Wolfpack (Academy/Hobbycraft) P-36A to help improve it (I've watched your build review). Also multipart. Haven't built any yet but they look nice and didn't cost much. I have noticed more after market companies like Barracuda, now printing all their stock rather than casting. More efficient and less waste. Have a few cast engines in some Special Hobby kits. (I wonder if SH will change to 3D printing for their future kits?). Thanks for the informative vids. Very helpful for when I tackle one. Cheers Matt 🦘

Good Morning ☀️ 0645 hours OHIO time….. In my €Bay searches, I find all kinds of RESIN Aftermarket Engines… Haven’t bought any yet, I think they really Dress Up the kit … I like using the Color Pencils Also, on cockpits , landing gear, Chipping, Funny, when I started building models ( 1970 ) never thought I would still be doing it today… I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN…. I’m having fun learning how…. JONS MODEL KIT REVIEW helps………. CHRIS 🇺🇸

멋집니다 👍

Hi Jon. A bit slow to comment this week! Really nice looking kit. The tyres/undercarriage look really impressive! I reckon I've seen the Revell Blue box and the ProModeller version down here in Australia at some point. I have the Meng Me410 B-2/U2/R4 - because it was discounted at a model show. It is a costly kit. Usually about 110-120AUD (say about 72-78USD). Lots of nice bits but a most wont be seen unless everything is unbuttoned. Exhausts are standard, was expecting a bit nicer for the price. 1 x small, unpainted PE. A bit of slide moulding for the guns. Nice but........ almost the same price the Eduard Midway Wildcat Dual Combo! And that's a lot of kit/decals/PE. And while the clear parts are constructed a bit differently they still look like a pain in the @^%&# (7 pieces for the top section - 2 top panes are separate). I think it's just the nature of the Me410 canopy. Those rear gunners view blisters wouldn't work in a 2 part mould. Ideally 3 pieces, 1 long piece and the 2 entrance hatches would be nice. Nose bit still separate. Can clear parts be slide moulded? Is it a thing? Can't add additives/flow agents to clear plastic so it is more brittle. Must look it up! Thanks for the vid. Look forward to seeing the finished kit. Lots to see in that cockpit with all that glass! Cheers Matt🦘

Good review. Well done 👍

I really like the last aircraft, the Bf-108. This is a technique I will try. What did you use as an eraser? Thank you

Q: are u using acrylic or oil pastels ?

Q: I would like to shade the panel lines on my F15 since it doesn’t have any recessed panels. Would u recommend a dark gray since plane is gray ?

Even though I'm not much into Luftwaffe subjects, I enjoyed watching this. The reason is that back around this same time Wings did an episode that covered the Me-110, -210, and -410. Duly inspired, my dad ordered a 1/48 Me-410 kit from the Czech Republic. I don't remember whether it was a vac or resin. Either way, right after he got it done, Monogram announced this one! I still remember his reaction! One of many scale modeling memories.

Best 410? I seriously doubt the this old kit is superior to the 2012-15 Meng kits of the Me 410. I did Meng LS-001 and it turned out very well indeed, winning an IPMS competition. The Meng has excellent mouldings, a high level of detail including full engines and weapons bay, optional position rudder/elevators/flaps/ailerons, fine recessed panel detail, very clear canopy parts with raised detail moulded to the inside, and very good decals.

I bought this kit when it was released. It is still waiting patiently in my stash.

Old monogram kit

Another accurate review of a wonderful oldie. I am in the final stages of finishing mine as a night fighter. The wingtip navigation lights, being quite undersized, pissed me off so much I puttied them over and will mask and paint them silver with a green or red clear coat as required. Thanks for the great review.

I put on the pastels as the last step. I use Bragdon Pastels for their excellent adhesive quality. For your technique, do you lose a lot when over-sprayed with gloss coat and or dull cost?

A well done video. I built several, long before Monogram and Eduard releases. I love the simplicity of the kit, while still presenting an excellent representation of that actual aircraft.

Nice lovley Kit I have building 7 Years ago.wen i start my 3.Wave of Modelling😊

Fantastich

Outstanding video and presentation. I wish I had this video when I built my kit a few years ago. Great kit.

I don’t believe it Jon, I just brought this kit home today. You’re killing me.

My only disappointment is the kit doesn't give you nose pieces to use the quad 20mm guns or 50mm cannon, even though the gun barrels are included.

This kit came out in the late 90's. A time when Revell was releasing a whole series of amazing German twin-engined aircraft. I finally built mine about six weeks ago.

Jon, A great review and look at a favourite kit of mine. I too replace all kit seatbelts with aftermarket and recommend you try the Finemolds plastic harnesses. They are easier to assemble than the Eduard and the detail is finer. Just a bit of paint to add!

I really enjoyed building this kit! Nice review!

Built it years ago. Good kit. I built it oob, no problems.

I built this kit about ten years ago. I had some issues with the rear gunners gun site and had to make some Modifications in order for the rear canopy to fit. I am also not a fan of malty piece canopy parts if you want the cockpit enclosed. A single piece canopy would have been a nice touch. Aside the issues I managed to build a nice looking Me 410

This does look a great kit and I’ve always like the look of the Me-410..I hope Revell rerelease this kit as I’ll buy one and especially as it has a monogram magic added.. A wonderful review of this model Jon.I think your mix of history,review and build is perfect..Thank you and all the best from Blighty🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Hey Jon, good to see another 1/48 kit review. With all my background in WW2 aircraft this variant somehow escaped my heavy building days which are slowly cranking back up. Very nice detail on the kit especially the cockpit. The surface detailing definitely has a lot of Monogram DNA to it. I have a theory on your filming of the surface detailing - do you " polish" the surface ? I find that After the detergent wash , using a polish cloth sometimes with a polishing compound the paint goes down a lot smoother I do love the fact you build a lot without using putty, that makes the details stand out much nicer. My attempt at not buying kits for a while fell short this weekend when Airfix had a 50% sale. I squeezed the budget and. Only got three kits. I had to resist Sprue Brothers weekend sale 20% off Hasegwaa And I have no idea what Andy's Hobby will be offering in his warehouse moving sale end of the month. What a hobby - a balance of talent and " economics" Model On Cheers Bob.

BTW...the clear parts are the worst I have ever encountered. I don't know what pocessed Revell to make them the way they did.

Hi Jon. I just built this kit about a month ago. It is a mix of good fitting parts, and poor fitting parts. It's an interesting subject, and will make a nice display piece. Have fun with it!

Well done Jon! Great review and I must say it has very good detail for this subject. I have found revell, especially since they moved production to Europe, has had a lot of fit issues but I don’t really see that here. Maybe this mold was from before that move, anyway thanks again for this review of a subject I’m not familiar with. Gonna keep an eye out for this kit! Ride and model on!

Hi Jon. Very nice and informative video ! Have you performed a comparison between the Pro Modeler/Revell kit and the Meng offering ? Just in case, which of them do you like more and why ? Thanks in advance for your time. 😊

Jon, honestly, I've had this kit in my attic stash for about 15 years. LoL!

This is a much better aircraft and design than the Me 110… The MONOGRAM PRO MODELER SERIES were pretty nice…. I have a few in the stash…. They were a combination of old MONOGRAM ISSUE kits with new Decals and a small set of Photo Etch …. or They are kits from other kit manufacturers released by Monogram / Revell name…… Haven’t had the MOJO to work on my builds, the real world has a lot of distractions of late Having my coffee, I have the whole weekend to build….. Trying to wrap up a couple of builds by the end of year……… Want to start 2025 with FRESH NEW BUILDS….. I always watch JONS MODEL KIT REVIEWS it’s one of the best channels out there…. MODEL ON ………..

Good Day from Az. Thanks for all!! Great review, Jon. Jon, ya have a nose for very nice kits of vintage! The "point's to look out for" are more than important that ya think. Even with kits with instruction sometimes have "unlisted" mistakes. And one incorrect part placement can just cause ya no end of nightmare. I have just assembled 3 pairs of model railroad trucks, in batch. The "instruction" sheet is an exploded parts view with no written instructions. Each truck has 38 parts. The bolster is the only part that takes glue. This part is made up of 4 parts. And wouldn't ya know it................ yeah.................... 6 incorrect assemblies. All the wheel axles bind. I'm literally writing a magazine article on this!!! The only thing that saved all this, the kit is of current production and the manufacturer was ever so helpful. Not all makers offer spares. Big Thanks to San Juan Car Company. If you are an O scale slash 1/48 scale model railroader and are unaware of SJCC. Look into them, standard and narrow gauge kits and parts. So, yeah, big thanks ta Jon. Pay close attention to "the things ta look for" and pass'em on. Ya just might help another modeler out of a nightmare. That is a very nice kit! Again, another one I have never seen up close! Makes me want to build one! Another " Looking forward to the final" This is going to be one nice finish! And Ya now gotts'em watching from all over the world. Very Cool.... Jon's Model Kit Review, International edition. More reviews!!!! Anyway, take care to all and................................................................................. MODEL ON!!! Jeff

Sehr Schőnes Modell wirklich Sehr gut ❤ Schőne Vorstellung😊

Good review. I will keep my eye out for one.

Great review since I have built it...

Fond memories except for the clear parts.

The Spiteful was a really superb warbird and you made a great job!

1:18 These are wheels for an early 190…they don’t go with an F-8 version.
