Some time ago I posted a piece about the build of this venerable Lindberg kit. For the paintwork I decided to more or less copy the box art, with a grey on grey mottled effect on the fuselage and a green on green 'splinter' pattern on the wings. Being such small model it was pretty quick to paint!
Unlike many more modern kits the Me-163 came with a pilot figure. I treated him to a basic paint job before gluing the canopy in place.
Sadly the original decals refused to co-operate. Even after being in water for 15 minutes they refused to part company with the backing paper. Suitable replacements were easily found in the decal box.
I may soon run another poll to choose my next 1/72 scale victim....

Thanks - there is a vague possibility that I might build a 'proper' aeroplane kit soon....
