About product

Messerschmitt Me 262 B-1a/U1 1:48 — an injection-molded Hobby Boss kit

A plastic kit of the two-seat night jet fighter Messerschmitt Me 262 B-1a/U1 in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It is an injection-molded model in gray plastic with engraved panel lines, the lengthened two-seat cockpit, a clear canopy and jet engines beneath the wings. The boxing represents the night version with the antennas of an airborne radar in the nose.

The real subject

The Me 262 was the first jet fighter to see combat. The B-1a/U1 version came from the conversion of a two-seat trainer into a night fighter: the second crew member operated the airborne radar, whose characteristic aerial masts projected from the nose. It was used in the very last stage of the war in small numbers against night raids.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the lengthened two-seat cockpit before closing up the fuselage; it is usually worth adding ballast in the nose because of the nose gear. Fit the fine radar antennas right at the end so they do not break off. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic; dark night camouflage is best handled with an airbrush and a matte clear coat.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of German night fighter aircraft.
  • For fans of the first jet aircraft and their conversions.
  • For modelers who want the two-seat version with radar.
  • For 1:48 scale builders with experience of fine parts.

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

FAQ

It is a two-seat night fighter with a tandem cockpit. The second crew member operated the airborne radar, whose antennas project from the nose.

The B-1a/U1 is the two-seat night version with radar. The A-1b and A-1a/U1 versions are single-seat fighters.

Fit the fine radar antennas in the nose right at the end, and build the lengthened two-seat cockpit carefully. With the nose gear, ballast in the nose is useful.
