Thanks Spanjaard, I begin to have a nice collection of Komets indeed ( 14 ) and I'm working on two more : the Me 163b V2 in it's initial form ( without engine not side windows ) and a Me 163s without wings caried on a russian truck ( as the Russians had the unique Me 163s Junkers built ) . This one was particulary fun to paint as I had 3 pictures of the real plane 🙂

Spanjaard
if i may ask, were do you get all the pictures from?

Phenix Outis
I have a lot of books on the subjects ( The Valiant Wings book on the Me 163is one of the best ones IMHO even if I saw a couple of little errors ) And lot of researches on the internet ( an excellent website : robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/me163.htm ) . For the Me 163d I based my works ( I made the two possible versions ) on readings and the precious advices and documentation of J.C. Mermet who owns ton of documentation ( and wrote a couple of books about Luftwaffe ) . For the BV6 I found the pictures there walterwerke.co.uk/walter/me163c1a.htm .
