Kit 7238 - Messerschmitt Me 262V-1

 

 Kit No 72038 takes us to Germany in 1942, and provides the first ever full kit (as opposed to vacform conversions) of the Messerschmitt Me 262V-1. Differing considerably from the production aircraft, the V-1 initially flew with just a piston engine in the nose, later also being fitted with two turbo jets to make a "trimotor". Both options are available in the kit. Another major difference between the prototypes and production aircraft was the use of a tail wheel arrangement on the former machines. Decals are provided for just the first aircraft, PC+UA.
