1/72 Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a Arma Hobby
https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-72-messerschimitt-me-262-a-1a-arma-hobby/
A very focused, detail-oriented review. The author doesn’t avoid pointing out minor shortcomings, but overall rates the kit very highly — especially compared to earlier competitors.
“In summary: Arma’s latest release is a very good model. No doubt about it. It surpasses older competitors in both quality and level of detail, especially in the cockpit and landing gear bays. (…) I like this model and will definitely build it — it’s simply the best Me 262 in 1/72 scale currently available on the market.”
