1/48
Step Into The Annals Of World War Ii History With The Tamiya 1/48 Me262 A-2A &Amp; Kettenkraftrad Model Kit Bundle. This Comprehensive Set Offers A Captivating Glimpse Into The Final Years Of The War, Featuring The Innovative Me262 A-2A Fighter/Bomber. As Allied Bombing Raids Intensified Over Germany, Hitler Made The Strategic Choice To Prioritize The A-2A Variant Over The A-1A Jet Fighter/Interceptor.
The Me262 A-2A, Equipped With Two 30Mm Mk108 Guns And An Additional Fuel Tank In The Fuselage, Could Carry A Substantial 1-Ton Bomb Payload. While It Had Fewer Guns Than The A-1A, It Played A Vital Role Until The War'S Conclusion. This Model Impeccably Recreates The Me262'S Iconic Swept-Back Wings, Engine Pods, And Cockpit Details. You Have The Flexibility To Assemble It With Open Or Closed Canopy And Cannon Covers, And It Includes Options For Bomb Racks, 250-Pound Bombs, And Booster Rockets.
Adding Historical Depth To The Set Is The 1/48 Scale Kettenkraftrad Towing Vehicle. The Kettenkraftrad, A Unique Half-Track Motorcycle Deployed By The German Army, Was Originally Intended For Airborne Units But Found Versatile Applications On The Front Lines. Its Standout Feature Was Its Three Forward Gears And One Reverse Gear, Each With High/Low Options, Enabling It To Tackle Challenging Terrains.
In The Midst Of Fuel Shortages Towards The War'S End, The Me262 Couldn'T Move Independently On The Ground Before Take-Off. The Kettenkraftrad, Along With Other Ground Vehicles, Played A Crucial Role In Towing The Me262 To The Runway. This Ground Vehicle Is Faithfully Replicated In 1/48 Scale, Complete With Intricate Front Wheels And Caterpillar Tracks.
With Three Pilot And Ground Crew Figures Included And Decals For Recreating Three Different Planes, This Model Kit Bundle Offers A Rich And Immersive Experience In Wwii Aviation History. Whether You'Re A Seasoned Modeler Or A History Enthusiast, This Tamiya Set Promises Hours Of Engaging Assembly And A Compelling Journey Into The Past.
