  1. I've just bought a copy of the MENG 1/32 Komet, mainly because it was flown in RAF markings and will fit into my RAFWaffe build plan. The kit includes markings for ME 163, RAF serial VF 241, Builders CN 191060, as flown in England in 1946 and 1947. BUT... the kit calls for the underside to be in trainer yellow. There are many representations of the ME 163 in these, striking, colours, along with solid black green upper surfaces and fin, but not rudder. Some research brings this into question. Photos in Kenneth S West's book The Captured Luftwaffe show a clear difference in tone between the "P" in a circle marking, unquestionably in trainer yellow and the under side. Then I found more photos in ME 163 Part 2 by Ransom and Camenann that suggest the undersurface was a light blue colour. Their photos also show the dark fin and other bits on the fuselage overpainted, but another suggesting the upper surface was not a solid dark green, but a more usual two green splinter pattern. There is a colour profile showing all this. My understanding was that Luftwaffe A/C in RAF markings had yellow under surfaces early in the war, this was not maintained in later years. What are the Luftwaffe experts thoughts on this?
  2. Hi, Next archive model - the last so far Messerschmitt. Me 163 B-1 Komet. Model made OOB from Heller kit except for painting scheme - markings are followings some profile but I have difficulty now to find it and in my record on this model I do not have anything about the unit. Likely it is from 1945. Anyway - I do belive this i s not a whify markings - if you fo not think about not fuzzy spots of Dk Green on RLM 76 fuselage...It should be much more fuzzy... I made it about 1980 Comments welcome and regards Jerzy-Wojtek
