About product

Messerschmitt Me 509 1:48 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German project fighter Messerschmitt Me 509 in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter. It is a compact model with a finely engraved surface, clear plastic for the canopy glazing and a small photo-etched fret. The subject is an unrealized wartime project, so the kit belongs among the popular what-if models of the so-called Luft'46 era.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Me 509 was a German fighter project of the Second World War that grew out of the Me 309 design. Its characteristic feature was the engine placed behind the cockpit with a long shaft to the propeller in the nose, much as on the American Bell P-39 Airacobra. The aircraft remained no more than a project and was never built or flown, so everything about its appearance rests on period drawings.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and glue the photo-etched and clear parts with super glue. Finish and paint the cockpit before closing up the fuselage. Apply a primer before painting and lay the paint on with an airbrush. Because it is a project, you have a freer hand in choosing camouflage and markings and can take your inspiration from period German schemes of the end of the war.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German aircraft and projects of the end of the Second World War
  • Fans of the so-called Luft'46 era and of what-if models
  • Modelers looking for an unusual and rarely seen type for their collection
  • Builders who will appreciate a compact model with an easier build

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. The Me 509 was only a German project of the end of the Second World War based on the Me 309. It was never built or flown, which is why it belongs among the so-called what-if models of the Luft'46 era.

It had the engine placed behind the cockpit with a long shaft to the propeller in the nose, much like the American Bell P-39 Airacobra. That freed up the nose and changed the aircraft's weight distribution.

Yes, it is a compact model with a sensible parts count. And because it is a project, you also have a freer hand in choosing camouflage and markings.
