1:1 Historical replica of the german Messerschmitt Me262 Schwalbe/Sturmvogel, the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.

|| Read instructions below the description ||




The Me262 was a german jet fighter developed during the WWII, was the fastest and more heavily armed than any allied fighter, including the Gloster Meteor. One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during WWII, the Me 262's roles included Interceptor, light bomber, attacker, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions.

It was flown by many German WWII aces like Adolf Galland, Walter Nowotny, Kurt Welter and Heinrich Bär.
This one is painted with the schemes of the Jadgdeschwader 7 "Kommando Nowotny", pilot Hans Guido Mutke (The first man in break the sound barrier)

\ Instructions //

  • Press 1 to activate the landing lights.
  • This model is equipped with R4M Multipurpose Rockets, fire them to air or ground objectives with default action.
  • Take-off is a bit hard to perform well due to the power of the engines. There are 2 ways to done it right:
    · (Realistic) Set throttle at 35-40% and wait until the plane reaches 100Mph aprox. then set it full throttle and put flaps 50% down, the plane will go up smoothly.
    · (Easier) Set throttle at 100% and hold up the elevator (nose down) until it reaches 100Mph aprox., you can use flaps too at this point to gain altitude faster.
  • The plane goes lighter with fuel consumption, allowing it for doing more close turns and giving it more speed, keep it in mind.

    @Irobert55 You are right about the shape of the fuselage, it should be more triangular and a bit narrower... i'll try to fix it the best i can do

    only one problem: the originak has a triangular fuselage shape (in front view) and looks a bit longer (or is narrower both could be true) but besides this its great to look at.
