The Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/2a from our 1/72 scale aircraft model kits range accurately recreates the real-life World War Two jet aircraft. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.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 aircrafts 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, twelve R4M stabilised rockets could be carried under each wing, each one capable of bringing down an enemy bomber.Manufacturer: AirfixModel: A03090A Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/2aScale: 1/72
