1:72 Scale Diecast Metal - Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe / Sturmvogel (Swallow / Storm bird) - Length: 5.75" Wingspan: 6.75" This Me-262 model is a single seat plane. The cockpit is glue shut. It has no pilot/crew figures included. The landing gear is modeled in the retracted position. A display stand is included. This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14. The maker of this model, Oxford, did a good job with this model, specifically the color scheme and the markings are very crisp and clear. The panel lines and hatches are very nicely done (engraved). The box measures at 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 3.25 inches.
