Peter Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello just started the Meng 1/32 ME-163. So I thought I would add it to the build group. Pics to follow with progress, shortly. When I figure it out. Out2gtcha, Alain Gadbois, MikeC and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning_Dog Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 It will be interesting to see the differences between the modern Meng and ancient Hasegawa kits. Cheers! John. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Its a nice kit! Just be extra careful on the fuselage assembly, as IIRC, there are 7 - 9 parts in that area alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Thanks to everyone for the welcome and curiosity to have a look. OK so here is the Box Art, pretty nice but NOT by me...LoL. And dry fit of the cockpit assembly before paint. It really was quite a simple layout. I apologize if I made any photo insert faux pas. Using Google Pics for a source / host. Curious what other use to host... Edited January 3, 2021 by Peter LSP_Kevin, Troy Molitor and Landrotten Highlander 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Was looking at cockpit color references and found this on the internet. The link is from the Smithsonian NASM (National Air & Space Museum). Nice little write up and you can download the pics for private use (14 pix for Me-163). Looks like you select the Collections link oon the main page and then search. Found a nice selection of the Ho-229, another of my favorites. I love big wings and no tail. Anywho for those who are curious and its free! https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/messerschmitt-me-163b-1a-komet/nasm_A19530072000 Leaning_Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
