About product

The two-seat Me-262 B in 1:72 — replacement glazing

Cockpit glazing for the two-seat version of the German jet aircraft, supplied separately as a clear part. The rear section of the glazing and the whole shape of the spine differ on the two-seater from the single-seat fighter variant, so the parts are not interchangeable and you need to reach for the B version exactly.

The two-seat Schwalbe

The Me-262 B-1a was created as a trainer for converting pilots to jet power. In place of part of the fuel load it received a second seat and extended glazing over both positions. From this basis grew the B-1a/U1 night fighter conversion, which carried radar with antennas projecting from the nose and an operator in the second seat working its screens. The use of night Me-262s over Berlin in the spring of 1945 is one of the most remarkable episodes of the end of the war in Europe, because these were the first jet night fighters in combat service at all. Only a few dozen were built.

Recommended procedure

First test-fit the part dry on the fuselage and mark the places where material needs to be removed. Finish the seats, instrument panels and interior frames and flat-coat them before you seat the glazing. Cut the masking tape into strips following the individual panes; the two-seater has noticeably more of them than the fighter version, so set aside extra time for masking.

Who it is for

  • Builders of trainer and night fighter aircraft
  • Modelers replacing a damaged clear part
  • Anyone interested in the technology of the very end of the war
  • Display cabinet collections of German jet aviation

The aircraft to be assembled is not included in this offer; this is an add-on part.

FAQ

No. The two-seat version has longer glazing divided differently, and it does not suit the fighter variant.

Originally for pilot training. The derived conversion with radar served as a night fighter.

Best with narrow strips of tape laid pane by pane, helped if needed by a sharp scalpel.
