Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Me262B-1/ U-1 Nightfighter
A model construction kit of the Me262 the first jet powered aircraft of the Second World War. The Me262 was converted into a two-seater night fighter in order to combat attacking allied bombers.
The Me 262 is credited as being the first operational jet-powered combat aircraft, entering service in mid-1944. As with any revolutionary weapons system, the Me 262 had numerous advantages as well as a few serious disadvantages that the allies soon identified and exploited. As the Luftwaffe gained experience with the aircraft, its tactical development was temporarily hindered by Hitler's diversion of the aircraft to become a 'schnellbomber'. While the Me 262A single-seat fighters took part in the Luftwaffe's daytime air defenses, the defense of the night skies was lacking operational capabilities.
