The Wunderwaffe, a wonderful weapon that was supposed to turn the tide of war, came to the Historical Collection. The Messerschmitt Me 262 is the first ever jet-powered fighter in combat! Manufactured by Germany, it entered service in 1944 as an interceptor. Bomb and reconnaissance versions were also created. It was called Sturmvogel by German pilots, and was known among the Allies as the Turbo. The late commissioning of the plane into service meant that it did not play a significant role during the war. Messerschmitts Me 262 achieved 900 kills with losses of 100 machines. This plane is inspired by a model that is on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. It was piloted by Hans Guido Mutke, who in the last days of the war reached Switzerland, where he was interned. Years later, the machine returned to Germany as a great museum exhibit.
 
Use 390 COBI construction bricks to build a perfectly recreated legendary German jet plane from the Second World War! This beautiful historic plane has been designed with attention to detail. The pads are covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off even during intensive use. The painting of the plane refers to a machine with a very rich past, which is now in the Munich museum. At the controls of this extraordinary machine, we can put a figure inspired by the figure of the pilot Hans Guido Mutke. According to unconfirmed reports, this pilot could cross the sound barrier for the first time! The whole set is completed with a brick base and a plate with the model name.
This beautiful plane with a display is a perfect gift idea for fans of aviation, history and technology. It will certainly satisfy even picky collectors and young people fascinated by blocks. Build a story, block by block with COBI!
