Xtradecal has released a new 1/48 scale decal set with 12 options for Messerschmitt Me 410 kits. This is a particularly welcome release as both the Revell and Meng Me 410s are great kits and we really haven't seen much in the way of after market decals for them in recent times.

 

Most Me 410s are finished in the standard mid-war greys RLM 74 / 75 / 76, but Xtradecal offers a nice variety of markings for the 12 schemes. Details are as follows:

  • White 11 4/ZG26 Lt Rudi Dassow Hildesheim 1944

  • Highest scoring Zerstorer pilot and II Gruppe ZG26 KommandeurHptm Eduard Tratt 1944;

  • 3U+KH 1./ZG 26 Fassburg 1944;

  • 2N+DD Me-210 repaired as Me-410 Stab ZG 26 Diephplz 1943;
