Tamiya 25215 1/48 Messerschmitt ME262 A-2A with Kettenkraftrad

The Me262 A-2a was the fighter/bomber version of the Me262. When Al- lied bombing raids on the German homeland were rapidly intensifying, the Luftwaffe proposed the hastened deployment of the revolutionary Me262 A-1a jet fighter/interceptor. In June 1944, deployment of the A-2a fighter/ bomber began. The A-2a was equipped with only two 30mm MK108 guns (compared to the A-1a’s four guns) but had an extra fuel tank in the rear part of its fuselage and could carry up to a 1-ton payload of bombs.
