Aerobonus 480163 German Luftwaffe Pilot & Operator with seats for Me-262B-1A/U1 1/48 Hobby Boss is a unique set dedicated to modelers seeking faithfully reproduced details for the German night fighter from World War II. The product is designed for Me-262B-1A/U1 models in the popular 1:48 scale and is an invaluable addition to Hobby Boss kits.

The set includes two precisely crafted resin figures: a Luftwaffe pilot and a radar operator, as well as intricately detailed pilot seats characteristic of the two-seat version of the famous Messerschmitt Me 262B-1A/U1 jet fighter. All elements are cast from high-quality resin using precision casting methods, which allows for an exceptional level of detail not found in standard plastic kits. Both the seats and figures feature subtle details—such as seatbelts, uniform elements, and cockpit equipment—faithfully recreating the realities of the World War II period.

Brief historical description: The Messerschmitt Me 262B-1A/U1 was a two-seat version of the Me 262 fighter, created in response to the growing threat posed by Allied night bombers towards the end of World War II. This aircraft, used by the Luftwaffe, was one of the first examples of onboard radar being deployed in fighter aircraft. It was most commonly used in the years 1944–1945, mainly during the final months of the war in Europe.
