Tamiya 61082 1/48 Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a Vintage Build Kit  [61082]

Scale Representation of the Me262 A-2a

The Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a is notable as the first operational jet fighter, and this Tamiya 1/48 model captures that legacy. The set also includes the compact Kettenkraftrad towing tractor to complement the aircraft in display scenes.

Operational Background and Kit Highlights

The A-2a subtype focused on fighter-bomber roles during late war operations, carrying extra fuel and bombs rather than the heavier cannon armament of interceptors. Tamiya models the aircraft's swept wings, engine pods and provides detailed cockpit and ordnance options.
