Thanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great little build *by A***U on 25 November 2025* Built this as my first model after 50 years and found it was nicely detailed and fitted well. Lots of panel detail, it came out good and was enjoyable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality for a small model *by S***R on 21 March 2025* Airfix has come a long way in the quality of their kits since I made them 35 years ago. This model (kit number- A01008B) was my first proper attempt after getting one the starter sets with paints included a few moths ago and decided I wanted to start making them again. The instructions are easy to follow and was quite simple to make. I think I rushed it a bit but with more experience I'll take more time and get better quality. I forgot how small 1:72 scale is, this model easily fits within my hand, maybe just my hands have grown since being a young lad because nothing else seems to have. I didn't know when I picked this kit to make that there's an interesting story to the actual plane this model is made to look like with the paint scheme. There's photos of it on the internet and just so happened to be a photo of it outside the city hall in my home town and a story about the pilot and the painted out swastika on the tail, quite interesting I thought. I think the paint scheme is too difficult for a beginner so I had to change it to a pattern I could manage. The paint scheme requires you to do a 'mottled' effect but I'm not at that skill level yet. This kit only has 1 paint scheme when they mostly come with 2 so that's why I only gave 4 stars. I did like the quality of the kit and already have purchased another Airfix kit. I think the kit is well worth it for under £10 . ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Model Airplane Kit Gift Set - A03090A Messerschmitt Me262A-1a/2a, Plastic Plane Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, Skill Level 2, 1:72 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft Models - Real Aeroplane Models - Airfix Model Airplane Kit Gift Set - A03087A Junkers Ju87B-1 Stuka, Plastic Plane Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, Skill Level 2, 1:72 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft Models - Real Aeroplane Models - Airfix Messerschmitt ME262A-2A Airplane 1:72 WWII Military Aviation Plastic Model Kit A03090 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/571096356-model-set-a03090a-messerschmitt-me262a-1a-2a-model-building-kit](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/571096356-model-set-a03090a-messerschmitt-me262a-1a-2a-model-building-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-16*
