Spanjaardlooks very nice. i may have done a bit less chipping, I doubt any Me-163 had many flying hours.... but it looks really good anyway. i have sine Komets in my stash waiting....

Cesar MunizSpanjaard, what you said make sense, I think I have looked too much museum pictures and there they are very worn because of the handling assembly/ disassembly processes.

Spanjaardi always remember visiting the Me-262 in Hendon, I was told by somebody working there that the 262 was original, but none of the paint was. The Me-109 next to it, had its original paint.... So museum pieces can be deceiving sometimes😉
the 163 in Gatow museum looks great if you can visit. Too good actually, almost like it got out of the factory the week before😉. who knows, maybe it is the original paint.....
I have seen pictures of others, and they look like hell. but they were war machines, maybe have not been restored, and were painted about 70 years ago, with know knows what quality of paints...
if you look at more modern aircraft, left outside enough time, the paint starts looking like crap, Gatow outside collection is a good example, some of them are in a pitiful state, i am sure they were not like that when in service😉

Album info
one academy "not-so-quick" build ...., it was inexpensive but have shape problems, no cockpit details and bad decals with wrong and also not-so-clear instructions to place them, I putted it aside for long enough, now is time to finish this building for good!
