Benner Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 sweet, more armor :) little extra info, as far as I know, only one M163 took a hit during the war while participating in a probing attack before G Day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masterqq Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Benner, Thanks for the info... I have problem to find reference for the marking, and If you guys has any photo of M-163 in ODS, please share it with me, I will try to use the kit decal with Saudi marking in 1991, I assume it will be applicable to ODS... BTW, Here is the progress..prime and pre shaded... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nice...I had started one for the "Not just aircraft" GB last air, but didn't have time to finish it. Gotta say...the 163 is probably my favorite 113 variant Lookin good so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

masterqq Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 PNW Modeler, you started one also, why not join me to finish it for this GB.. this thingy is getting fun to build... Benner, Thanks for the link, it answered some of the questions I face for this build, and the marking of a lightning on the side look doable.. let's see, maybe I will do it with this marking...

I also added a gunner from my scrap box...make up from old tamiya nam figure, kinda skinny but fit into the turret well.. However ...
