ScanmanDan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Well, I finally got this one across the line. It was mostly built and painted years ago but sat waiting forlornly for me to get off my backside and finish her. Re-scribed the kit and added some little bits and pieces but nothing too fancy. Still a nice old kit. Here are the finished photos. I hope you like her. I've got one more of these in the stash and would love to do it in-flight in a zoom climb Thanks for stopping in for a look.

spruecutter96 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Excellent work all round, Dan. Love the very subtle mottled effect of the camo scheme. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a Happy New Year. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You've done an excellent bit of modelling on that old kit! Really impressed with the paint scheme, weathering and engraving. The cockpit is very, very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScanmanDan Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I am very grateful for the wonderful reception my little 163 has had. Very inspirational that you guys like how the scribing and paint on this older kit came out. For it's age the Hasegawa kit still builds nicely and sure looks like a Komet. I am intrigued as to how nice the interior of the Meng kit looks and may get one to try out a Komet broken into parts. My goals for the next year are to improve my finishing skills and build some more kits. Thanks for all your generous feedback. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
