1/32 Messerschmitt Me262A-1a

Trumpeter continues their 1/32 aircraft series with this very impressive kit of the Me262A-1a interceptor, the only German jet fighter to see service in any number during the war. This kit is exquisitely detailed inside and out, and includes such details as photo-etched seatbelts, individual control levers for the throttle quadrant, seperate pieces for the gunsight reflectors, both early and late styles of nosewheels and nose struts, fully detailed gun bays that can be built with the doors open, two Jumo 004 turbojets that are highly-detailed kits in themselves, clear nacelles that will show off all that engine detail, seperate flaps, slats, ailerons, elevators and rudder and a fully detailed fuselage interior which is visible through a removable radio access panel. The landing gear struts are provided in both plastic and white metal. The canopy can be posed either open or closed. Decals are included for Franz Schall's "Red 4" of 10/JG7 and Walter Nowotny's "White 8" of Kommando Nowotny. A highly-recommended kit of an important aircraft.
