About product

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first jet fighter built in series. The single-seat combat version Me 262A carried the nickname Schwalbe, meaning swallow, and its recognition marks became the swept wing and the pair of engine nacelles beneath it. It entered combat in the final phase of the Second World War, and on modelers' shelves it is still among the most popular machines of that time.

What the set contains

Photo-etched parts in 1:72 scale for this type. In a small scale photo-etch is especially useful: a plastic part always has some thickness, whereas etched metal is as thin as paper, so the instrument panel, the harness belts or small sheet items finally look the way they should. The extent of the set and the position of the individual parts are described in the manufacturer's instructions.

Working with photo-etch in a small scale

The parts are small, so get a hard cutting surface, a sharp blade and tweezers with fine jaws ready. Separate them by cutting, not by twisting, and work over a light-colored surface, where you will find a part that springs away. Dose the glue on the tip of a toothpick onto the plastic part, not onto the photo-etch; in 1:72 scale a truly tiny drop is enough. Make the bends on a straight edge in one movement; bending again and again tires the metal and it snaps. Before painting, wash and degrease the metal, otherwise the paint will not hold on it. Assemble the inside of the cockpit and try it dry while the fuselage halves are still apart.

FAQ

For the Me 262A Schwalbe in 1:72 scale. The extent of the parts and their position are described in the manufacturer's instructions.

Quite the opposite. The smaller the scale, the more the thickness of plastic gets in the way. It does call for tweezers with fine jaws and a steady hand.

A tiny drop of super glue applied on the tip of a toothpick onto the plastic. A larger drop will run into the etched engraving and flood it.

Yes, wash and degrease them. Paint does not hold on greasy metal and flakes off during the build.
