Hi Guys!


I want to present you my latest build. It is Dragon's 1/48 Messershmitt Me-163S. It was a glider used to teach young Komet pilots a landing procedure.

I have added some wires in cockpit, telescopic sight and pilots tube (last two were made using surgery needle)

Painting was done using gunze Hseries paints- RLM 76/81/82 (as far as I can remember)

Hope you will like it.

Hi Marcin

looks very nice! i like the dirt at the wingtips!

Did you find a c&m for a German Me163S or did you just do a generic German camouflage?

all the best

Hello Marcin,
one suggestion, if the cabinet area gets chipped to metal, you might want to add some to wing roots also.

Very nice looking model and spot on painting
