Italeri 0074 - 1/72 ME 410 Hornisse Model Kit - Classic WW2 twin-engine project  [IT-0074S]

Recreating a Luftwaffe workhorse in compact scale

The Italeri 0074 - 1/72 ME 410 Hornisse Model Kit lets hobbyists assemble a faithful 1/72 interpretation of the Messerschmitt ME 410. The kit captures the aircrafts multifunctional role in World War II and offers a satisfying build for modellers who value scale accuracy and fine surface detail.

Why the ME 410 is a notable subject

Developed to address shortcomings in earlier designs, the ME 410 combined improved aerodynamics with upgraded armament. As a heavy fighter, reconnaissance platform and bomber interceptor, its versatility makes this subject interesting for collectors who track Luftwaffe aircraft development.

Assembly advice and display takeaways

The 1/72 scale balances small size and detail, so parts are precision-moulded and call for careful handling and assembly. The kit is suitable for builders with some experience; finished models display well on shelves or in compact dioramas alongside other WWII types.
