About product

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-2a (1:32, Trumpeter)

A sizable injection-molded plastic kit of the German jet aircraft Messerschmitt Me 262 A-2a in 1:32 scale from the manufacturer Trumpeter. The model captures the fighter-bomber A-2a version (nicknamed the Sturmvogel), fitted with racks under the nose of the fuselage for carrying bombs. The large scale brings rich detail in both jet engines, the cockpit and the surface. Check the exact contents of the package and the decals in the manufacturer's instructions.

The real subject

The Me 262 was the first jet aircraft in the world to be used in combat. It was powered by a pair of Junkers Jumo 004 jet engines slung under the swept wings. The A-2a version was adapted for the role of a fighter-bomber and carried two bomb racks under the nose. In spite of its high performance the type suffered from a short engine life and it was deployed only at the very close of the Second World War, when it could no longer turn the course of the fighting.

Building and painting tips

In the large 1:32 scale, first paint and highlight the cockpit and both Jumo 004 engines, and only then close the fuselage and the nacelles up. Glue the glazing of the canopy with canopy glue and protect it with masks. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic. Apply a gloss varnish before the decals and bring out the panel lines with a wash. Fit the bombs and the racks only after painting. The late-war German mottled camouflage will stand out once soft transitions have been laid on with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German aircraft of the Second World War
  • Modelers who will appreciate the large 1:32 scale and detailed jet engines
  • Anyone interested in pioneering jet aircraft and their bomber versions

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