Tamiya Plastic Model Kit Me 262 Fighter Version (1/48) 61087 This Tamiya 1/48 scale model accurately replicates the Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a, the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter. Featuring precise surface detailing, a fully equipped cockpit, and options for nose-mounted 30mm cannon and R4M air-to-air rockets, this kit allows for an authentic recreation of this groundbreaking aircraft. The included decals provide markings for four distinct Luftwaffe camouflage schemes from the closing months of WWII. Highly detailed 1/48 scale Me 262 A-1a fighter Four 30mm cannons mounted in the nose Optional R4M rocket launchers with underwing pylons Accurate panel lines and cockpit detail Includes decals for four historical Luftwaffe aircraft First deployed in November 1944, the Me 262 A-1a was designed to counter the growing Allied bomber threat. With a top speed far exceeding any piston-engine fighter, it could intercept bombers and evade escort fighters with ease. Late production models introduced rocket armament for increased lethality. Despite entering service too late to change the war’s outcome, the Me 262’s advanced design influenced post-war jet development worldwide and secured its place as one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history.
