Nice photo. The Meng kit I have has that cannon. You've kind of got me wanting to build mine!

 

[GrauGeist]

Here's the two sprue sections (that I didn't show earlier) that illustrate the optional armament

This first section shows the cannon options, especially the BK5 (part number 43) seen in the upper right-hand portion:

This next section shows the Wfr. Gr. 21 tubes, seen upper center on either side of the main gear:

What would be really awesome, is if we had an instruction sheet PDF database...

 

[Catch22]

Does this help at all? Doesn't seem to mention the BK5 at all, but I can dig around for the Meng instructions to give you an idea of what things are supposed to look like.

EDIT: Here's the Meng instructions.

A little slow to reply, Cory, sorry about that!

But yes, I have seen the info at Scale Mates but unfortunately, they just have the instructions for the 20mm equipped version, but nothing on the Bk5.

The Meng kit is slightly different, though informative.

I think what I may have to do, is research a little as to which units used the Bk5 equipped Me410 and go from there - I know the Me410 well enough, that I can assemble the kit as the A1/U4 without the instructions...my kit does have both the standard windscreen and the windscreen (and sight assembly) for the cannon armed versions...

If you go to Rod's warbirds and look under German Airforce Pictures, there a few photos of the ME410 with the BK5 cannon.

Thanks for posting the photos and I might PM you if my hunt fails.

I am trying to identify the Me410 in the photo in post #20 of this thread

 

[Crimea_River]

I think that will be difficult but let us know how you make out.

 

[Maximowitz]

Problem is, the instructions are specific to the nightfighter and omit mention or detail regarding the options...

Nightfighter? Two were sent to NJG3 for evaluation, but nothing came of it as they were deemed unsuitable.

 

[T Bolt]

Welcome back to modeling Dave! I have a 410 in my stash. Not sure what version it is but I'm sure it is not the night fighter. If the instructions show the cannon version I'll scan and post them.

resurecting this thread to see if anyone can assist with a Radar question. This plane as a B-6/R3 had a FuG 202 radar but there is also a B-6/R2 does anyone know what FuG system this was? TIA

 

[Wurger]

As memo serves B-6 was going to be a naval Zerstrorer variant for escorting of U-boats and other ships. It was equipped with the FuG 200 with Zaunkonig radio for communication with U-boats.

Me 410 B-6/R3 radar is special, FuG200
