Brent Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I already had the kit. I made a deal for a conversion (thanks Rick!). Now I'm ready to get to work. Disaster strikes! The conversion tells me the rearview windows on the Me-163 were solid panels. However, all my refs CLEARLY (get it?) show windows in the back. The conversion doesn't allow for this. So, I can make the model as is. Just fill in the back windows. Nobody will know, right? Or, I can scratch build a new rear section for the Me-163S. Looks like I'll be firing up the vac-form table... Last ditch: has anyone ever seen photographic evidence of the Me-163S with no back windows? Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Anyone have a trashed Hasegawa Me-163? I need one to use as a master. A wrecked kit is fine. I only want the fuse halves and the canopy. I will post this on the trader's board too. Thanks! Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 No pix yet. But work is progressing. Riddle me this: The Russians found the Me-163. They hauled it back to Russia to test it. How do you figure it made it? Was it loaded on a truck? Train? Ship? All my references state that they captured some. Poof! They are in Russia. I'd love to find a few pics of the Soviets transporting war booty. Any help? Thank you! Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
