TRIMASTER Me163S
I got this kit at a hobby show for 30$. Turned out to be quite the bargain!. This old kit had photoetched, metal seats and metal tubing for the air probe on the wing. The level of details of the plastic parts are quit impressive too.

Guillaume BlanchetWelcome aboard guys. This is such a small plane, I'm happy it's loaded with details.

Guillaume BlanchetThanks Villiers de Vos. After looking at some picture of the plane cockpit, I saw that there should be some red accent on some knob & lever. I went back with my paintbrush to added them. Canopy is being masked, next step will be the paint job 🙂

Guillaume BlanchetDone with the primer. The fuselage had a few gap once glued. I needed about 3-4 pass of putty/sanding to get to something I like. Next step: preshading and paint 🙂

Sebastian MeynerNice progress Guillaume 👍 I always loved the look of the trainer version... I guess I like odd looking birds 🙂

Guillaume BlanchetIndeed, it look like an egg in an egg. I used tp loved the the me163 as a kid because I played it on a computer game called The Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. I mostly bought the kit because I wanted to tried an original Trimaster kit once in my lifetime. I was not disappointed. As the first photo shows, it came with more metal parts that the later Dragon kit would.
