Allan bobs up with some completed models

[Allan]

the 410 is the Matchbox model in Japanese colors...the rear wheel doors were too thick so I tried to make some in thinner plastic sheeting, but I just couldn't get them to stick in place so deleted them...my story is that the Japanese air force removed them and didn't need a wing pitot tube either
the 109k is the Heller kit, I think, and the what if connection isn't very strong...maybe only what if the wing antenna was made from a toothpick and painted red and white
can't remember which kit the 109G is...I used a green make-up pencil from the ladies section of the chemist just to see what would happen...the blotches really don't look too bad
the Hayate is perhaps the Arii kit and I used a feather to put on the blotches...in the jungle the Japanese sometimes painted camo with a palm frond so I used a feather from an Australian sulphur-crested cockatoo, found during a walk in the suburbs near chez moi with my wife, cut it down to 1/48 scale and dipped it into some Tamiya acrylic...worked out okay
so whaddaya think?

Nice work mate - thought you'd got lost on your way home ? 

The 410 looks particularly good and at home in Japanese colours

What Chris said, Japanese colours really DO suit the 410 very well.

The 109K is the Heller original - they got it wrong and it's actually a G-14.  The Kurfurst had the same DB605D engine as the 109G-10, in a revised cowling.

I think the desert G is the Hasegawa kit.

IIRC, one Me 410 (actually a 210 modified to the later standards) was sent to Japan in 1942 for evaluation.

The G looks nice, too.

Nice work ! My fave is the 410 as well....looks awesome in those markings ! Love the tulips...makes me think of a modern German one as well.
