Hobby Boss 1/48 Me 262 B-1a/CS-92: A modeller's view

The 1/48 Hobby Boss kit of the Me 262 B-1a/CS-92 lets enthusiasts reconstruct one of the era's most notable jet fighters. Credited as the first operational jet fighter, the Me 262 pushed aircraft design forward, and this kit mirrors that legacy with carefully defined parts and scale detailing.

Design features and modelling appeal

Notable for its twin jet engines and swept wings, the Me 262 set a new reference for speed and handling. Hobby Boss has reproduced those key elements with accurate surface detail and well-shaped components, appealing to those focused on historical accuracy.

Build level and presentation advice

Recommended for modellers with some prior experience, the assembly benefits from steady work and precise fitting. After painting and decaling, the completed model displays well on cabinets or alongside other WWII aircraft projects.
