V1.2 Notes:
- Changed rudder control, as it was inverted by mistake on V1.1.
- Modified engine bays so there is less clipping with wings.

An accurate replica of the Me-262A "Schwalbe", the first jet ever jet fighter to participate in actual air-to-air combat.
Specs:
- Twin turbojet engines (thrust is largely exaggerated compared to real model, in order to reach the same top speed of ~ 530 mph)
- "Tricycle" landing gear configuration
- 4 x front-mounted wing guns
- 14,155 lbs load weight (accurate)
- 644 gallons fuel capacity (accurate)

Scale is just about right. It flies very well, unlike the real one! Be careful with thrust as the engines guzzle through the fuel tank in a short while at max thrust. Hope you enjoy!

    @Madlycat I'll try, I'm still trying to figure out how to encase air inlets inside fuselage :P

    A superb aircraft on of the best Me-262s I've seen! However is it possible at all to get the jet intake to be rounded? Or is that out of the question?
