The Messerschmitt Me262, often called the 'Swallow', was the first operational jet fighter and represented a major technological leap. Introduced in 1944, its influence extended beyond the war as designers studied jet aerodynamics and propulsion; about 1,430 airframes were completed in its production run.
The Hobby Boss 80249 Me262 A-1a Fighter Model Kit offers a 1:72 scale rendition with clear surface detail and correct proportions. It is suitable for collectors seeking a faithful small-scale example of the Me262.
Take care when trimming and test-fitting parts to preserve panel lines. After assembly and painting, the model presents a compact, museum-style display that showcases the Me262's streamlined design.
