Arma Hobby has released their new tool Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a “Schwalbe” model kit in 1/72 scale.
The project focuses on faithful reproduction of the aircraft’s shape, correct geometry, and a high level of detail, while maintaining a logical and modeller-friendly assembly design. The model reproduces characteristic features of the Me 262, including deployed leading-edge slats, richly detailed landing gear bays, R4M air-to-air rockets, and 250 kg bombs.
The kit (70083) is based on a highly accurate 3D airframe model by Arthur Bentley, who is touted as one of the most respected aviation researchers and draughtsmen. It includes an Arma Jig assembly stand to assist with correct alignment of components, a metal nose weight to ensure proper balance of the finished model, painting masks for the canopy, and Cartograf decals with marking options for three aircraft (wartime and postwar). Also included is a code to download a file for 3D printing accessories for the kit.
