Tamiya 1/48 Me262-1A Messerschmitt 61087

The Tamiya Messerschmitt Me262 A-1a 61087 is a plastic model assembly kit that accurately depicts the revolutionary jet-powered plane which saw service during World War II. The construction of pre-production aircraft began in April 1944, and after some delays due to Hitler's orders, the Me262 A-1a fighter version was finally put into production in November 1944. Equipped with four 30mm cannons in the nose and the capability to mount rocket launchers under the nose and wings, the Me262 A-1a became the most feared German fighter among Allied pilots. The kit includes decals for four different markings to represent the camouflage variations applied by the Luftwaffe on its planes during the closing days of WWII.
