Explore the cutting edge of WWII aviation with the MPM 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 262 V9/V12. This specialized model kit allows you to build one of two significant high-speed prototypes (HG I) used to push the limits of the world’s first operational jet fighter. The V9 (VI+AD) was famously used for testing the streamlined "racing" canopy, while the V12 was the fastest of the pre-production variants, reaching a staggering 624 mph (1,004 km/h) in 1944.

This "short-run" multimedia kit is highly prized by collectors for its unique subject matter. It includes injection-molded plastic parts with fine surface detail, supplemented by photo-etched (PE) parts and a vacuformed canopy to accurately replicate the low-drag profiles of these record-breaking prototypes. With specialized decals for the silver and RLM-camo test schemes, this kit is an essential addition for anyone documenting the evolution of the Schwalbe
