Here is my recently finished Testors/HAWK 1/48 scale Me 163B.
The model was built O.O.B. and even the kits decals were used on this one.
Enamel paints from Xtracolor and Model Master were used for paint and was shot through my Iwata Revolution BR airbrush.









This is my fourth and final Komet of the year.

Thanks very much Tom!

Its hard to make such a simple and bland older kit look interesting so I thought I might as well make it look like it could fly.

Another pic of this model...

Thanks very much Scott and Fred!

I have two Tamiya kits on the bench now, one of them will have some in flight pics taken of it.
