Just finished Me-163A V6 (Flashback 1/48), prototype tested by Adolf Niemeyer with the anti-aircraft rockets R4M and a Luftwaffe scheuschlepper tractor (Reheat Models 1/48).

Hi there

Lovely job!

I've got the flashback kit in my stash - how did it go together? It looks a really neat build.

I'll have to try and track down one of those tractors... it looks amazing!

All the best

Hi Rowan
thanks for your comment.
I've not much problem on it, just OOB. CMK brings the same tractor, but the dimension is about 1/5 smaller than reheat model and I don't known which one is more accuracy.

eMan,
Sharp looking plane. Nice, subtle panel lines and weathering.
I take it that it is built as it looked when Niemeyer flew her, with the only 'camo' being on the leading edges?

Any way to see the cockpit interior?

Keep up the great work.

Hi Keith

From my reference photos, it's unclear whether the dark patches around the nose and wing leading-edges were simply undercoat showing through, or deliberate retouching.

All the best
