About product

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a/U1 1:48 - injection-molded kit from Hobby Boss

A plastic kit of the first jet fighter committed to combat, the Messerschmitt Me 262, in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It is an injection-molded model in gray plastic with engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, a clear canopy and jet engines under the wings. This boxing represents the trials version A-1a/U1 with strengthened mixed cannon armament in the nose.

The real subject

The Me 262 was the first jet fighter committed to combat and it markedly exceeded its piston-engined rivals in speed. Compared with the standard A-1a, the trials version A-1a/U1 had more numerous and mixed cannon armament made up of several types of cannon in different calibers; the aim was to increase the destructive effect against bombers. It was a solution tried only to a limited extent at the very close of the war.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the cockpit before closing the fuselage; it is usually a good idea to add weight in the nose so that the model sits on its nose gear. Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and sand the joints. Late-war camouflage schemes with mottling are best handled with an airbrush; a final matte varnish will unify the surface.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of German aircraft of the end of the Second World War.
  • For fans of the first jet aircraft and their trials versions.
  • For modelers who want the version with strengthened cannon armament.
  • For builders in 1:48 scale with basic experience.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was a single-seat trials version with strengthened, mixed cannon armament in the nose (cannons of several calibers) for a greater effect against bombers.

The A-1a/U1 is the single-seat version with strengthened cannons. The A-1b version carries R4M rockets and the B-1a/U1 is a two-seat night fighter; those are separate models.

With a nose landing gear it is usually worth adding weight in the nose so that the model does not sit down on its tail. Go by the instructions in the box.
