I did not know anyone made a 1/32 Me-163.

@clifford, this kit is very very old, it's somewhere from the end of the 60's beginning 70's, but yes it's the only one i think, this box is a true collectors item

MENG also makes a 1/32 scale Me 163! This is the most up-to-date kit.

i knew they announced it, but i didn't thought that they released it already, never saw it pass by inmy friends shop, but apparently yes, so Robin, if you plan on making this model, by the MENG-kit, and keep the Hasegawa aside, the detail is not great, the decals will be 'toast', this is a box for collectors of vintage kits, maybe $$$

Thanks for the advice @Germen V, but already into it. I'm not a collector but a builder so I enjoy the old kits too. It's not a rare kit, mine is about 20 years old and the deals are usable but I'll use aftermarket anyway.
I reckon the Hasegawa kit must have been rereleased as its available at local hobby shop and from Lucky Model (I think) for only about US$30. It's still a great kit for the price though I'm sure the Meng kit is awesome but for a lot more $$$
