## Overview

The 1/72 Me 163B Komet is a detailed plastic model kit that requires assembly with plastic cement and painting, allowing hobbyists to create a stunning replica of this iconic aircraft. Perfect for model enthusiasts looking to enhance their collection.

## Description

Designed for the sole objective of attacking allied bomber formation, the semi-delta wing Me163B was powered by a 3,748lb. thrust Walter rocket motor which allowed it to reach a level speed of 596mph with sufficient fuel for 8 to 10 minutes of powered flight. After take-off the Komet would jettison the trolley style main wheels and use its amazing 11,800 feet per minute climb rate to rapidly climb above the allied bomber formations. From here the pilot could execute one or two extremely high speed attacks where he would have approximately 3 seconds to aim and discharge his weapons. Armament consisted of two 30mm MK108 cannon, 24 underwing rockets or four vertically discharged rockets fired by a photoelectric cell as the Komet flew into the shadow beneath an enemy bomber. Kit features: Fully detailed panel lines; Highly detailed cockpit interior; Option of types for Me-163B or Me-163S; and Includes towing tractor. Paint colors needed: Dark Green, Brown Violet, Dark Yellow, White, Black, Flat Black, Red, and Light Blue.

    The best Tiny Komet?
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2007*

Minicraft's little Me-163B/S is probably the best 1/72nd kit of this rocket plane, particularly for the cheap price. Comes with canopies and upper fuselages for the single seat combat 163B  and  the familiarization trainer 163S.  Also comes with the Schueschlepper transport vehicle.  The only thing that would make it better would be some Soviet decals for the oft seen Soviet Captured 163S

A super kit. This is a vast improvement over what was available. Great options; two seater or single. If you are a WWII aircraft person, you'll love this little guy.
