A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a full-scale replica of the Messerschmitt Me 262, the first operational jet-powered fighter.
The aircraft in question was built in Germany by Manfred Pflumm, the owner of the International Flugmuseum in Schwenningen. With a passion for aviation and a keen eye for detail, Pflumm dedicated many years to restoring and rebuilding airplanes for various museums. His ultimate dream was to establish his own museum and surround himself with his meticulously crafted 1:1 scale models
On May 28th, 1988 Pflumm’s dream came to fruition with the grand opening of the International Aviation Museum. The museum’s debut featured an impressive array of exhibits built by Pflumm himself, complemented by a collection of numerous military aircraft. One of the standout exhibits was a 1:1 scale model of the Messerschmitt Me 262.
