Hey Guys,
I picked this one up second hand. No info in the box at all. It has a 42" wing span, and it all molded. It has really nice surface details, clear canopy and vaccu-formed rudder. Does this ring an bells? I'm just curious what it might be and if anyone else has built one. Should make for a really nice scale build. Its 16 oz. as it sits. Schemes should be fun on this one.
I met what I think is the last surviving WWII Me-163 Komet pilot Kurt Fengler a couple of years ago. What an amazing story. He was forced to learn to fly at gunpoint, solo'd an SG-38 at 14, flew Komet at 15, 13 glider tows and 7 powered flights if I remember correctly. He served under Rudy Opitz at one point, and was shot down by a P-47.
