Excellent choice and, what's even better, it's not yet another bloody Spitfire (that'll probably get sneaked in later.....! :-\

There are marks that could do with a mainstream, rather than limited run, tooling, but horses for courses I suppose.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I thought someone was pulling my leg when they texted me the news  :rolleyes:  I can see me wanting 2 kits so as to cover both subtypes. Always liked the 410 and fancy one in ANR markings.

Why would anyone want to do a Me.410 in Australian National Railways markings? :blink:

Of course, there are a few variations to choose from:

If I ever build a train layout these could run on the underside of the table.......... :wacko:

Oh wait, the guy from the flat earth society now says the earth is a donut. I'd have to run the trains up the wall now.    :o

Interesting release.
It is amusing how some folk think that Airfix would be able to easily
produce an Me 210 now they have the 410 CAD and moulds. 
:rolleyes:

Yeah, easy peasy all it takes is new fuselage and wing moulds. Unless, of course, Airfix has engineered the kit with separate outer wing panels and rear fuselage.
:wacko:

The late 210s had the same fuselage as the 410.  Not that I need either.  Where's the Scimitar we've been asking for, repeatedly and loudly for over a decade?

Just imagine the weeping, wailing and rending of clothes if they had engineered it with separate bits to allow a 210 from the same basic moulds.

And in future time people look back and wonder why they never released a 210.  :rolleyes:

Even Airfix are getting into the 'Captured' thing.  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
