Hobby Boss 1/48 Me 262 B-1a/CS-92: Scale fidelity for aviation modellers

This 1/48 Hobby Boss representation of the Me 262 B-1a/CS-92 gives model builders a chance to assemble one of the most influential jet fighters from World War II. Regarded as the first operational jet fighter, the Me 262 introduced a step change in aerial performance. The kit aims to reflect that engineering milestone through careful part detail and accurate surface features.

Context and modelling strengths

The Me 262's twin-engine layout and swept wing profile defined late-war performance advances. This Hobby Boss kit captures those defining elements with crisp panel lines and scale-correct shapes, making it a satisfying project for those interested in military aviation and historical accuracy.

Assembly approach and display potential

Suited to intermediate and experienced builders, the kit requires attentive assembly to realise its full detail. Parts are finely moulded to deliver a rewarding build, and the finished model makes a strong display piece on its own or in a historical collection.
