Forces of Valor German Messerschmitt ME-262A-1a (New Package and Paint)
85049 German Messerschmitt Me-262 – Germany, 1945 (1:72 Scale) (New Paint and Package). The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (German for "Swallow”) was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II but engine problems prevented the aircraft from attaining operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. Compared with Allied fighters of its day, including the jet-powered Gloster Meteor, it was much faster and better armed.
