Tamiya 61082 Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a with Kettenkraftrad Scale Kit  [61082]

Detailed 1/48 Me262 A-2a Model

The Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a is recognised as the first operational jet fighter, and this Tamiya 1/48 kit allows modellers to reproduce that aircraft alongside a Kettenkraftrad tow vehicle. The set focuses on scale-accurate surfaces and fitting options.

Development Background and Kit Characteristics

The A-2a served largely as a fighter-bomber variant, sacrificing some cannon armament for greater fuel and bomb capacity. Tamiya captures the Me262's characteristic swept wings and nacelle layout while offering a detailed cockpit and weapon options.
