Take a Closer Look at the Academy 12542 - 1/72 Me262A-1/2 'Last Ace' LE

The Academy 12542 - 1/72 Me262A-1/2 'Last Ace' Limited Edition Model Kit reproduces a landmark WWII jet in compact scale. The Messerschmitt Me262 is recognised for pioneering jet propulsion, and this release captures its streamlined profile for scale enthusiasts and collectors.

Historical Impact and Model Accuracy

As the first operational jet-powered fighter, the Me262 introduced new speed and combat options. This kit mirrors the aircrafts swept wings and twin-engine layout to give a realistic impression of its wartime form.

Assembly Notes and Finished Appearance

The 1/72 format provides a controllable build that still shows strong detail. Moulded parts are designed for close fits and the included decal sheet helps recreate authentic squadron markings, making the finished model a credible display piece.

Technical Details

  • Scale - 1/72
  • Construction: Plastic components
  • Assembly required: Glue needed
  • Finishing: Paint advised for an authentic look
The kit is approachable in 1/72 scale, but beginners will benefit from basic modelling skills and patience when trimming parts and applying decals.
Painting is recommended to achieve an authentic finish; the kit includes decals but paint brings out panel lines and weathering.
The kit uses precision moulding to reflect the Me262s key features, offering a faithful small-scale representation for display or diorama use.
