About product

Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a / U4 1:32 (Revell)

An injection-molded plastic model of the German jet fighter Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a / U4 in the large 1:32 scale from the Revell brand. What is special about this variant is the armament: instead of the usual four 30 mm cannon, the barrel of a massive 50 mm MK 214 A cannon protrudes from the nose. The set contains newly developed parts for the characteristic nose of the U4 version and is complemented by a detailed cockpit and detailed engines. It is a larger build intended for more experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Me-262 was the first jet fighter in the world to be deployed in series, powered by a pair of Junkers Jumo 004 engines. The U4 designation (Umrüst-Bausatz, a conversion kit) refers to the conversion that was to turn the Me-262 into a destroyer of bomber formations (a Pulkzerstörer): a large-caliber 50 mm MK 214 A cannon was built into the nose, with which the aircraft was to attack formations of Allied bombers from a safe distance. Only a few prototypes were built and tested; one of them fell into the hands of the American army.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with modeling cement for plastic; align the large areas of the fuselage and wings carefully in 1:32 scale, and fill and sand the seams. It pays to paint and shade the cockpit and the engines carefully before closing the fuselage. Apply a primer before painting and use an airbrush; German camouflage of the end of the war rewards accentuated panels and a light shading wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German aircraft of the Second World War in 1:32 scale
  • Modelers interested in the beginnings of jet aviation and unusual armament variants
  • More experienced builders who will appreciate a large model with a detailed interior and engines

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

FAQ

U4 (Umrüst-Bausatz, a conversion kit) was the conversion of the Me-262 into a destroyer of bomber formations; a large-caliber 50 mm MK 214 A cannon went into the nose.

The set contains newly developed parts for the nose of the U4 version with the 50 mm cannon; the rest comes from the Me-262 model in the large 1:32 scale.

It is a larger build in the big 1:32 scale with a detailed interior and engines, so it is better suited to more experienced modelers.
