1/72 Messerschmitt Me262A-1a/2a

Plastic model kit of a German WWII turbine fighter. The A-1A, the first production variant of the Messerschmitt Me262, was Hitler's desired fighter-bomber version of the aircraft that could be used as an interceptor or configured to carry bombs and air-to-air mortars on nose-mounted pylons. The aircraft's powerful nose guns were used to devastating effect against the massive formations of USAAF bombers attacking Germany. The jets' offensive firepower could be further enhanced by fitting R4M Hurricane missile packs under each wing. Mounted on rudimentary wooden racks, twelve stabilised R4M missiles could be housed under each wing, each capable of bringing down an enemy bomber. 65 parts. Length built 148 mm / width 174 mm / height 48.6 mm.
