Description
The Italeri Me 410 Hornisse (HC-074) presents the twin‑engine aircraft developed from the Me 210 programme, intended as an improved heavy fighter. While the redesign addressed earlier issues, the type still faced technical challenges that limited widespread distribution among Luftwaffe units. Produced in several roles, the Hornisse appeared as reconnaissance, night fighter and attack variants.

Specifications
All of this resulted in a series of modifications which ended with the realization of the Model 410. Yet, despite all the improvements, the aeroplane inherited some technical problems which made sufficient distribution to all the various Luftwaffe units impossible. Various Hornisse versions were made: reconnaissance, night fighter, attack plane - all of which were not very successful.
