Trumpeter 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262A1-1a

December 22, 2023 · in Aviation · · 27 · 340

My favorite aircraft kit. Not only that Tamiya's 1/48th design was adopted, but also surface detail was enhanced. In addition, flying surfaces are separate and the slats can be extended.

    Great model work on this one Rafi!
    For some time, I had it on my plan to get one of these, but was not too sure
    on which one to get. Seems that this one at that scale and being a Trumpeter model, is a good choice.
    Very nice work on the painting.

    Thanks for the kit's overall assesment.
