Jeff KealleyAlthough my kit has the 61063-6 code number on the box ends it has the main box art of #01063-4 - ie Black letter title, including '1/72 MODEL KIT - MODELE REDUIT' and no burning plane in bottom right corner.

Peter JenssenSchlepper painted.
Looks less yellow in real life, -more sandy yellow.
For some reason the picture turned out quite lemon bright.
Wheels look too small unfortunately..

Peter JenssenThanks,
Got disappointed with the paint though. It's back in the box, a bit neglected at the moment..
20. March 2015, 05:48
Donald MedleyWhere did you get that towing machine or was it scratch built?
26. July 2015, 03:22
Pavel Pinzhin@Donald - that towing tractor actually comes in the box. Academy has quite a few airplane kits with additions of their own ground wehicles like german kubelwagen, schwimmwagen or allied willis jeep.

29. July 2015, 06:39
Peter JenssenThat's correct.
It's part of the kit. Also part of the kit is fuselage and canopy parts to build the trainer version. It's a nice kit.
(Sorry for the late reply, I have'nt been on the forum for a while, I have been busy rigging a wooden ship model of the Cutty Sark)

Diego DHActually this is probably the duplicated entry, as name is not exactly as in the box top. how to merge into one?
13. April, 02:51
wilkyI think that you have to contact Tim @ feature requests
13. April, 04:38
Diego DHthanks, I thought I posted this in his message wall... there should be a button to mark possible duplicates.
13. April, 05:15
Wim van der Luijtthere is! Click on the "+" goto "actions" Click on "Double" and don't forget to paste the link to the other kit in the url input field. Only Tim (our Admin) and users with three stars can merge doubles
13. April, 07:30
13. April, 07:34
Diego DHThanks Wim! How do I know how many "starts" I have as a user? and.. the merge would move the users that are linked to the "old kit" to the "kept kit"?
13. April, 10:21
Wim van der LuijtYou can see how many stars you have next to your profile picture when you go to your wall. All is merged. To gain stars you have contribute to the database, but three stars are granted by our admin
13. April, 10:28
Diego DHThanks again... just saw my Lone Star
guess will keep asking for help when I find duplicates.
14. April, 02:13

Christopher MullinsThis is as finished as I can get it right now because I dont have any clear parts for it. I was thinking about getting some from Squadron, but I had problems with those last time i got some, I just could not get them cut out. It has a lot of detail with the decals, and I find myself asking what some of them are for, like the yellow C and white T on the fuselage. Decals took about 2 hours yesterday while there were quite a few. If I can find another one of these cheap I will get it and finish it, or maybe Ill get the crystal clear canopy from Squadron and try those again, not sure.

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....
21. May 2017, 17:46
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.
21. May 2017, 18:00
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
