tbell Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 After over a year on and off the bench I've finally managed to finish my Meng Me 163B Komet. It was a bit of a mixed bag, with very nice detail but overly ambitious engineering. A fiddly build to say the least. WIP here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=50501&hl=meng The only aftermarket bits used were BarracudaCast wheels (a must-have, IMHO) and the HGW microtextile seat harness (not a must-have, but a big improvement nonetheless.) All insignia and aircraft specific markings were masked and painted, while the wee stencils are kit decals. The RLM 74/75/76 are Gunze, with a mishmash of Alclad, Tamiya, Vallejo, Humbrol and Citadel paints for everything else. Questions and constructive criticism are more than welcome. Cheers, Tony HL-10, Daywalker, Aluxe and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 There's nothing to criticise Tony - it's masterful! And the kit itself looks like a great advance over the old Hasegawa one. I'd love to publish yours on the website if you'd permit me. Kev tbell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Inspiring! What are the four little black spots on the oval shaped access panels on each wing? Are they decals? BTW, did this kit come with a pilot by chance? I need a good seated pilot for my Hase kit. Tim Out2gtcha and tbell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
