Meng 1/32 163B Komet

Post by Paul »

Bought this cheap of the forum and decided to build it to rejuvenate the mojo. I built in in the captured scheme which is a bit more interesting than the pother two schemes in the box.

That looks great! I know exactly what you mean by sometimes needing a model, just to get that mojo flowing, kind of like with my T-38A, didnt really plan on building it, but just cracked open the box and one thing led to another and suddenly it was done, didnt even get any WIP pictures taken of it. I like the 163B in a "captured" British scheme...cool!

Looks amazing. I saw a real one of these today, really interesting aircraft. In total only 9 kills were attributed to Komets, while 12 Komets were lost!
