Me 163S now 100% FINISHED!!!

[matrixone]

This is the Academy 1/72 scale Me 163 that I finished a week ago, the Academy kit gives you the option to build either the Me 163B fighter or the Me 163S two seat trainer which is what I decided to build.

The model was built O.O.B. and was painted with Model Master II enamels shot free-handed with my Iwata Revolution BR airbrush.

This pic below was taken from inside the hangar looking out towards the airfield, the nose of the Me 163S can just be seen on the left side of this photograph.

Thanks Dave, Paul, Moon Puppy, and Dusan!

I was lucky I took the pics when I did, its already raining again here!

Here are two pics of the Me 163S I forgot to post yesterday...

The pics I took of the HobbyBoss Me 163B are a little better than the Academy Me 163S in this thread, I feel like I got out of my picture taking slump that I have been in for a while.
I will post the new pics in a few days.

Thanks razordws and James!

Yes the Kettenkraftrad seen in a couple of the pics is from the Academy kit, that thing is very tiny...once when I was finished taking pics for the day I sat it down and lost it for a few minutes and was lucky I found it again.
