Description

The revolutionary Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first jet-powered aircraft to see service. The A-1a fighter version, nicknamed "Schwalbe" (Swallow), was finally put into production in late 1944. Armed with four powerful 30mm cannons and optional air-to-air rockets, it was a fearsome opponent for Allied bombers and their escorts in the closing days of WWII.

This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the groundbreaking German jet. It features a detailed cockpit and nose cannon bay, which can be viewed through optional open panels. A key feature is the die-cast metal nose wheel well, which serves as a weight to ensure the model sits correctly. The kit is packed with options, including various rocket armaments, a pilot figure, and four different marking schemes.

Features
  • The unique form of the "Schwalbe" with its underwing engine nacelles is accurately replicated

  • A die-cast nose wheel well provides a realistic weight and ensures the model has the correct posture

  • The canopy and four-gun cannon bay can be modelled in either the open or closed position

  • A full set of optional ordnance includes R4M air-to-air rockets and W.Gr 21 rocket-launchers

  • The kit includes a seated pilot figure and decals for four different marking options

  • The cockpit and 30mm cannons are reproduced down to the finest details

  • A classic kit from Tamiya's highly-regarded 1/48 Aircraft Series
