But this special variant takes the myth one step further. With the Me262A-1a\/U4 kit you get one of the most extraordinary experimental designs of the Second World War on your craft table. The special thing about this model in the impressive 1:32 scale is the armament: instead of the usual four machine cannons, the barrel of a huge 50 mm cannon protrudes from the nose. Thanks to new components (“New Tools”), you can now precisely recreate this rare version. The abbreviation \"U4\" stands for a conversion kit that was intended to turn the Me262 into a \"pulk destroyer\". The aim was to fight Allied bomber formations from a safe distance (out of the reach of the defensive gunners). For this purpose, the 50 mm Mauser industrial cannon MK 214 A was installed in the bow. Only a few prototypes were built and tested. One of them, the \"Wilma Jeanne\", fell into the hands of US troops. This model captures exactly this experimental spirit of aviation history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58478830780800,"sku":"4009803037493","price":46.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0294\/0547\/9011\/files\/Image_6_9b0e50bb-bb9f-47ba-ab8e-88aa91e1a72c.jpg?v=1784289862","url":"https:\/\/youngstersworld.com\/products\/revell-1-32-03749-messerschmitt-me262a-1a-u4-german-ww2-jet-fighter-kit","provider":"Youngsters World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
