vags Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Greetings from Greece, This is my 125th build, straight from the box of Gaspatch Models’ latest release – the Me-163B, yet another example of the high-quality products this firm is capable of producing. It was built within just 4 months -quite an achievement for me- and It depicts W/Nr. 191916 “Yellow 26” of JG400 at Brandis in April 1945 which is also in the box art. Keep modelling.

Wlad Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Beautiful build. Amazing how a little detail such as that tail wheel, turned to one side, adds life to the model. Cheers, Wlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, having built all the Gaspatch releases so far, I can tell you that the high quality of the first one has been retained to all the others including this one. Smart engineering, very accurate representation of the aircraft, flawless mouldings, plenty of detail, in-scale small parts, ease of construction, no need for after-market photo-etched parts, excellent decals, and instructions sheet, are the main characteristics of this kit. Gaspatch has also released an update set in 3D printed resin that makes it even more detailed. I haven't used it here, but I will in my current build of a second Me-163B, so more about it in the near future. Apart from a Yahu-like instrument panel, a good paintjob, and a decent weathering, I think that you hardly need anything else in order to build a very accurate and detailed model of the famous rocket fighter. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick b Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Four months well spent I’d say. Faultless. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Museum quality build in all respects! I also agree with @Wlad that castoring the tailwheel really adds to the realism, and is seldom done by modelers, for some reason. Like a flea- but oho!
