1/48 Dragon Me 163 S

Gallery Article by Jens Gerber on June 13 2013

 

 

My new model is a Me 163 again but the S version from Dragon in 1/48.  A few extras were added using brass wire and needles, a cover for the outlet of the nozzle Walter finished. :-)  The Dragon photo etch had to be heated, but the processing was good.  The spigot of the wing I have removed so the adaptation of the fuselage and wing is easier to make.

Color: Color Gunze RLM 66 and RLM 81/82/76 + a few colors for levers and switches

There is little written on the Me 163 S, only pictures of Russian test aircraft.  So as usual base color with JG 400 at the time.

I hope to convince the model-oriented.

Greetings from Germany,
