Check out this new edition from Maisto! They've added the infamous German Messerschmidt Me-262 fighter jet to the Tailwinds collection. The Me 262, nicknamed the "Swallow" was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work began before World War II, but numerous technical problems kept the aircraft from operational status until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter. One of the most advanced aviation designs during World War II the Me 262's roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions. Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied aircraft shot down during its short operational life.
