Hi Phil, is this a new tool or is it the old Trimaster/ Dragon kit?

@Christian, this is the old TriMaster mould, but it looks good
@Holger, I think that the kit looks very nice with fine engraved pannellines, just the cockpit looks a little to basic, there must I put some time and work in, but that's fun 😉
Thanks for the nice comment mates, greetz Phil

@Holger, yes my friend, that's my intention, to put it in a Dio,
the picture I see a few weeks ago tells a story where US soldiers find this little Komet,

Maybe you can put a little paint on the wiring you did.

A wonderful little Power egg!!
Fine and tricky scratch build you did!!! It`s a cool idea to open the ammunition hatches!
Pls. let me say, you made a fine scratch work! Superb
What`s your camo choice for this humming bird?

@Dirk, the camo choice is a difficult one, first I want it make in his natural colors like metal and wood with some pieces of dark grey, but now that I have take a closer look at the camo sheme of the 2/JG 400 in summer 44 in Brandis I just do not now it yet!

Nice work, Philip! I wish I had seen this earlier, as I have a resin seat for a 1:48 163 that I'll never use. I could have donated it to your project!
Your 163 is not so little, I have one in 1:72 in the stash - now that's little! 🙂

Thanks Bill, you are very kind but as you see the pit is already done, the seet is not that bad, with some buggles its OK, the kit is not that small as I first thougt but still it's my little Komet 😉
Thanks for your kind words Bill

@ Stefan, yes my friend the wires will have a little more paint but if you can see them if all is closed, I doubt about it 😉

Wow Philly!
Awesome scratch job and a very very nice paintjob! The drilled holes in the fuselage will be covered with mesh? The cockpit, btw, looks beautiful!

Thanks Christian for the nice words, the kit is not that bad, but a little upgrade with scratchbuild give it a nicer look 😉

Very nice so far! I was always interested in the Comet and build a lot of them in any scale. The testing grounds of these aircrafts are very close to the place I`m living. For further informations look here: robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/me163.htm In my opinion the best website dedicated to comets

The brown oils (?) on the wings is a bit too much for mmy taste, but the overall result is gorgeous! 👍

Hi Philip,
I like the light colour mixes of the camouflage paints! Withth open hatches full of attraction! The weathering is done with high skill level!
It is now a little gem in your collection.

Album info
This is my new project, I will try to give it a little more details by scratchbuild, I'm not that fantastic scratchbuilder but we will see where we come out with this little Komet
