After releasing the characteristic Me410B-2/U4 "cannon-bird" kit, MENG now announces a classic variant of Me410, the Me410A-1 high speed bomber kit. With Dr. Messerschmitt's unremitting efforts and two years of modification, the twin-engine fighter Me210 which had been deemed hopeless by the Luftwaffe was finally evaluated as "good for war" during its test flight in 1942. The latest variant received a new designation: Me410. Luftwaffe found out in combat tests that the speed of Me410 was only a little lower than that of the latest variant of the British fighter Spitfire. Me410 was also good in flight stability. During high speed bombing missions, Me410A-1 was one of the few bombers which could still effectively break through the interception of Allied fighters. Because Me410A-1 was good in fire power, speed and range, it was also deployed to Zerstörer-Geschwader of Luftwaffe for interception and long-range escort missions.
