Description

A landmark technological marvel from the dawn of operational jet combat. This highly detailed 1:72 scale diecast model by Corgi (AA35707) replicates the Messerschmitt Me 262A "White 1," flown by the highly decorated ace Leutnant Franz Schall of Kommando Nowotny while based at Achmer, Germany, in the autumn of 1944. Recruited into the world's first operational jet fighter unit by Major Walter Nowotny, Schall utilized the Me 262's blistering speed to intercept Allied bomber formations. Schall was exceptionally proficient in the jet, scoring many of his 133 career victories behind the controls of the revolutionary twin-engine aircraft. Finished in an authentic late-war Luftwaffe green splinter camouflage pattern with a prominent yellow fuselage band and an experimental zebra-striped tail rudder, this model represents the cutting-edge of WWII aviation design.

Ideal for curators of late-war history and pioneering jet aerospace engineering, this Aviation Archive Collector Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact. The 1:72 scale model is engineered with premium precision, featuring highly detailed Junkers Jumo 004 inlet and exhaust nacelles, four crisply molded nose cannon ports, and associated shell-casing ejection ports detailed underneath the fuselage. When configured with the robust metal landing gear in the down position, exceptional structural details are revealed inside the open wheel wells. Complete with a hand-painted pilot figure wearing a typical German fighter uniform, leather jacket, and flight helmet, this premium diecast model offers a magnificent presence on its included custom metal presentation stand.

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.

- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
