Airfix Messerschmitt Me262A 1a/2a Model Kit 1:72

This Airfix Messerschmitt Me262A -1a/2a Model Kit is the perfect addition to any model collection.

Representing the primary production variant of the Messerschmitt Me262 jet, the A-1A was the fighter-bomber version of the aircraft desired by Hitler, capable of being used as an interceptor, or configured to carry bombs and air-to-air mortars on nose mounted pylons.

With the aircraft’s powerful nose mounted cannons used to devastating effect against the massed formations of USAAF bombers attacking Germany, the offensive firepower of the jets could be further enhanced by the addition of R4M ‘Orkan’ (Hurricane) rocket packs under each wing.

Mounted on rudimentary racks made from wood, 12 R4M stabilised rockets could be carried under each wing, each one capable of bringing down an enemy bomber.

The model kit is made up of 65 parts, bringing this historic aircraft to life in 1:72 scale. There are two scheme options.
