Designed to meet Adolph Hitler's vision of a high-speed, light-payload ground attack bomber, the Me 262 was first flown on April 18, 1941. As the world's first operational jet aircraft, development of the 262 was dominated by confusion, with Hitler envisioning a bomber and designers envisioning a jet fighter. Capable of outpacing the P-51 Mustang by 120 miles per hour, the 262 was clearly the best fighter plane to serve in WWII but was too late to help the Luftwaffe. Its specialized maintenance requirements and fuel shortages, coupled with aggressive Allied ground attacks prevented it from having any serious impact on the outcome of the war. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc. Forces of Valor's 1:72 scale Me 262 is a beautifully executed replica featuring fine details that are usually seen only in higher priced models. The landing gear's metal struts are constructed as complete subassemblies, and structural detail can be seen inside the wheel wells. Mounted on a solid metal wing, the engine nacelles feature turbo fan and exhaust details. The access panel at the front of the model is removable, revealing structural details and four highly detailed 30mm cannons (an unusual addition in this scale). The nose has four cannon ports with shell casing vents, and the metal fuselage features multiple antenna below and a dorsal-mounted ADF antenna. © Copyright 2003-2019 The Flying Mule, Inc.
