Mike Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Anyone that knows me will already know I like this sort of thing, and I'll be watching out for one nearer the time 1
mekon Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Saw the flyer on the Gaspatch table at Telford. Really intrigued to see what it'll be like.
Ali62 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 I am sure this will be very good, like everything that Gaspatch does, I did not even see this at the show, that is how fast I had to walk around, but great news, another one to look forward to.
Mike Esposito Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 What the h#!!? Gaspatch? Never heard of them... Would love to see a 1/48 me-163B though 1

supersonic Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I asked Costas from Gaspatch about the shedule for this and would like to share his answer: ''Dear Hans Thank you for your interest in our project. We are in the final stage, I expect to be in the market in the next 3-4 months. Best regards Costas'' Personally i think he will present us a superbly engineered Me 163 in Quarterscale like all his previously released models Edited February 29, 2020 by supersonic 7 1

Mike Esposito Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Looks to be very detailed! A big improvement on the old Revell kit.

The Revell kit used the old Trimaster moulds (also used by Dragn) and was quite good IIRC. The Testors kit was very basic. Strange it did take so long for a new tooling - must be about 30 years. OMG 1
One 48 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Never heard of these guys before? Reading between the lines/comments here though, well respected quality plastic, had the Meng 1/32 163 Komet before switching stash to 1/48, so will be keeping an eye on this.

hopkp Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Looks pretty neat, if it's anything like as good as their Hs 123 it'll be excellent. It definitely looks like an easier build than the (now pretty old) Trimaster/Dragon/Revell kit. 1
Violet Club Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 I hope that they will scale it down in 1/72. We need a new Me 163 in that scale as the Academy is now difficult to find !
SleeperService Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 I'll be having one of these. If in doubt about what these guys can produce look at THIS They're a really nice bunch and their stuff is among the best, happy with new technology they are doing some really amazing stuff. 2
