Me-262 Schwalbe Kit Card

thingiverse

The Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe (Swallow) was the world's first operational jet fighter. Entering service in 1944, it quickly proved itself as a terrifying opponent to meet, with its high speeds and vast array of armaments. Multiple variants were created, including a tank buster with a 50mm cannon on the nose. It was faster and heavier armed than any allied fighter, including the British Gloster Meteor which entered service 3 months after. It became a basis for many future jet projects after the fall of Nazi Germany, and even saw further post-war usage by the Czechoslovak Air Force up until 1951! *** A little bit of experimenting with this kit compared to my previous WW2 kits, with a split wing and connector design to incorporate dihedral wings. It is a small yet effective detail! **The engines should face straight down. If not, perform a switcheroo!** Looped and Loop-less variants available. Versions without the runners for those not interested in the format, along with the individual part files. If it's still a little wobbly, try increasing the Z axis (uppy-downy) by 10-20%! Bribes accepted for any edits... ;) Always love seeing your makes! Thank you :) *** *This model and its associated files are for personal use only, feel free to print as many as you wish and gift them out to family, friends, or even your enemies. **All of my kits are marked as non-commercial and not available for selling on any platform, along with any remixes created from them.*** [](https://ko-fi.com/K3K31XW7H)
