Airfix 04066 Messerschmitt Me 410A-1/U2 U4 1/72 – plastic model kit

We present a unique plastic model kit – Airfix 04066 Messerschmitt Me 410A-1/U2 U4 in 1/72 scale. This kit is a highly detailed replica of the German heavy fighter from the Second World War. Manufactured by the renowned Airfix brand, the set is the result of advanced scanning of the original aircraft from the RAF Museum Cosford collection, ensuring exceptional accuracy and realism in its reproduction.

The Messerschmitt Me 410 served in the German Luftwaffe primarily as a bomber destroyer, night fighter, and reconnaissance aircraft. It was a development of the Me 210, featuring an extended fuselage, aerodynamically improved wing profile, and more powerful Daimler-Benz engines. The Me 410 began to appear at the front in 1943, but despite its advanced design and powerful armament (including twin 20 mm cannons and various armament options in the U4 version), it could not match the modern single-engine Allied fighters such as the Spitfire or Mustang P-51D. The aircraft was in service until the end of 1944, after which it was phased out and replaced by the proven Bf 109G fighters.
