Aircraft Modeling / Messerschmitt Me 163 B-1a Komet
« on: November 03, 2016, 11:59:29 PM »
Hi mates,
In 1960 (!) Testor's Hawk issued a kit of the Messerschmitt Me 163 B Komet in 1/48 scale. Measuring the kit, it appears it's actually in 1/46,5 scale. It contains many inaccuracies, specially the planform of the wings but the general rendering is convincing.
The markings come from a Trimaster decal sheet but the kit is a real vintage kit. I built it to replace the one I purchased in the early 1960s and which is nowadays in a poor state.
The kit represents the Me 163 B-1a Komet, WNr 191659 " 15 yellow " of II. / JG 400, captured by the British at Husum, then transported towards England and delivered to 6 Maintenance Units RAF in Brize Norton then to College of Aeronautics to Cranfield. She is always visible, apparently in her original camouflage in the Royal Scottish Museum of Flight, at East Fortune.
Camo scheme is composed of RLM 81, 82 76 colors.

Hello
Beautiful work for one of the most beautiful fighters of the WW2. Good projerct.
I got one many years ago and didn't finish it... Too much difficult to build at the time. But some years later I started to build the MC 205 and finished it...

Hi mate,
Waoh ! A mirage 2000. You're right, it's the best kit in 1/72 scale. I have one to be finished...
I'm waiting for the final touch.

Hello
Very beautiful job. The unit badge is of those I like most. The one who drew this badge had a brilliant idea by representing an eagle which opens its wings.
If I remeber well, the 1/72 scale kit (F-106A) by Hasegawa has the missiles also on lowered missile rails.

« on: September 16, 2016, 06:55:48 PM »Yes, nice progress. Not an easy kit; I was disappointed by their F4U1...
And for me, disappointed by their F4U-5N and F7U-7...
The best kit of the F4U-7 that I got is HPM's kit :
