Messerschmitt Me262A-1a This pack contains a waterslide decal sheet and decoration guide for 4 aircraft models for the Messerschmitt Me262A-1a twin-jet fighter. Concept and design work started on the Me262 as early as 1939 but, as Germany seemed to be easily conquering country after country, it's developent was not seen as a priority. It wasn't until the advent of mass daylight bomber formations of the Eighth Air Force and improved allied fighter designs including the long-range P51D Mustang, that a requirement for a superior performing fighter was needed. The Me262 proved a shock for the allies as it had at least a 100mph advantage over the best allied fighters then in service. Luckily for the allies, it was never produced in large enough numbers nor were the pilots coming through the insufficient training programs up to scratch, barely able to fly, let a lone handle such an advanced aircraft. Full potential was only realised by the all to few 'experten' that flew the type from 1944 to the end of the conflict represented by the schemes included in this decal set.
