Hi Pen Pusher,
A nice variant of the Me-163, and looking good.
I've had many an Aaaaargh! moment, so its nice to see that you've overcome yours on this model.
Keep it up.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Praise from you is praise indeed. Many thanks BK

... the beginning of a rise from the ashes. This time used Vallejo Luftwaffe Cam/Green and Violet/Brown with German light blue undersides. Speculative I know but as these colours were often used during late 1944 into 1945 it seems a fair bet!!

Bonus giveaway to some unlucky hairy stick modeller in December - one jar of 'Mr Colour 121 Brown violet'.....!!!

Almost there, I had a lot of difficulty with the cockpit support strut and finally had to opt for one slightly more robust than intended. Matt Varnish (Vallejo) applied and if your wondering where the 'crooked crosses' are - all will be revealed.

I was impressed with your model at the club meeting, a triumph even with all the problems encountered.
Great stuff.

Kind words from a 'master modeller'... and much appreciated!
