tbell Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 A few weeks ago I had completed and posted my Meng Me 163B Komet (RFI here), which I had finished all buttoned up. During construction, and despite the fact that it would never be seen again once I closed the fuselage, I nonetheless painted and assembled the nifty little rocket engine: As you can see, it builds up into an impressive little model in its own right, so I contacted Meng to see if I could get another motor to display along side the finished model. For the price of the postage, they kindly provided me with the relevant sprues. This time I decided to add a bunch of extra detail from brass rod, solder wire, and nuts and washers punched from sheet styrene, for example: And here's the final result: Just for fun, a stereogram. Cross your eyes such that your left eye is looking at the right hand image and vice-versa, and then try to bring it into focus.

Wolf Buddee Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Awesome Tony! I see the little bigger was so powerful she ripped herself right out o' the airframe and that's all that's left to show for eh? Very cool. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Crosby Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Tony, With just a few bits of wire and plastic you've turned what is already a lovely model into a masterpiece. Really neat workmanship, superb painting and good photography too. Well done! I wish I could do half as well. I noticed a teeny weeny data plate on one of the internal gizmos, it just brings the model to life. Regards, Bruce Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
