The Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a and Kettenkraftrad kit recreates a notable piece of World War II aviation. This release offers scale builders a precise subject to assemble, showing the Me262 as the first operational jet-powered fighter that changed aerial combat.
The A-2a variant was developed during intense Allied bombing campaigns and converted into a fighter-bomber by command decision. Compared to the A-1a interceptor, the A-2a carried two 30mm MK108 cannon and an extra fuel tank, allowing it to carry up to one ton of bombs. The model reproduces these features so hobbyists can study the period engineering.
The supplied Kettenkraftrad half-track motorcycle reflects its practical role towing jets to the runway when conventional tugs were scarce. Its three forward gears plus one reverse gear helped it handle rough ground, a capability represented in the kit's components.
