Description

The design of the Me P.1099 began in the summer of 1943 and was intended as an improvement to the Me. 262. The Me P.1099 was planned in a way which could later be developed into a heavy fast bomber, reconnaissance plane, interceptor, night fighter and trainer variants.

The Messerschmitt P.1099 was a 12 metre long aircraft, with a wingspan of 12.6 metres. It retained the wings and the tail section of the Me 262A-2a, but with a wider fuselage and was initially equipped with a cockpit for two pilots.. The planned powerplants were two Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engines, however, these were later to be replaced by Heinkel He.011 turbojets, in a further development, together with swept wings, for  the Me.P1100. None of the variants was built, but this project was developed into the Messerschmitt P.1100 all-weather fighter project, which in turn would lead to the single-seat, single-jet ME. P.1101 design for the Emergency Fighter Programme in July 1944.

Our 1/30 scale hand carved Mahogany 1946 Luft version is the bomber interceptor variant which was a single seat fighter armed with two MK 103 Z’ cannons firing up and to the rear which could be targeted at bombers, two FHL 151 machine guns fitted to the rear for defence and one electronically controlled FHL 151 cannon at the front.

Limited to 3 pieces worldwide, this aircraft is priced at $799 plus postage.
