Me 163B, 1./JG 400, "White 18"


Recommended Posts

This the old Hasegawa Me 163 almost completely OOB, just added some lead foil seat belts with Verlinden hardware and a Quickboost gunsight. Just looking for a quick and easy "decompression" build so I didn't bother re-scribing panel lines or going overboard with detail. Figures are Verlinden, not real happy with my cement parking ramp, kind of threw it together in a hurry and it shows. Fit was pretty good except for right behind the cockpit, halves didn't want to align at all. Ran into an issue with the RLM 81 since Mr. Hobby apparently is the RLM 81A variant not the brown-violet color I was looking for. Had some old Aeromaster acrylic on hand so that saved the day. Anyway, fun build and looks pretty good on the shelf.

Thanks for looking,

Mike
