Messerschmitt Me.209 V-01 World Speed Record Aircraft Kit

Experience aviation history with this meticulously detailed 1/48 scale model of the legendary Messerschmitt Me.209 V-01. The A&A Models kit captures the record-breaking aircraft that set the world landplane speed record in 1939, a record that stood for 30 years.

Key Features:

  • Accurate 1/48 scale representation of the 1939 world speed record holder
  • Daimler-Benz DB 601ARJ engine producing 1,800 horsepower with fine panel lines
  • Streamlined fuselage designed for maximum speed
  • Retractable landing gear with detailed wheel wells
  • Clear canopy parts for cockpit visibility
  • Comprehensive decal sheet with authentic 1939 record flight markings
  • Detailed surface panel lines and rivets

About the Messerschmitt Me.209 V-01:

On April 26, 1939, test pilot Fritz Wendel flew the Me.209 V-01 to a world landplane speed record of 469.22 mph (755.138 km/h), a record that remained unbroken until 1969. Despite sharing the "209" designation with the later Me.209 fighter project, the V-01 was a purpose-built racing aircraft developed from the Bf.109. Its specially modified DB 601ARJ engine, surface evaporation cooling system, and streamlined design made it one of the most advanced speed record aircraft of its era.
