1/72 Me 163B Komet & reading 'Rocket Fighter'
I had a Uncle/Nephew visit and flight at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton. During our visit to the Gift shop, I found a few old paperbacks that looked like some cheap good reading.

GasPatch 1/48 Komet
Here is my GasPatch Me-163, finished at last. I started this kit over 18 months ago, but life got a bit hectic. I used my Christmas break to get it finished.
The kit is great. It’s very nicely detailed, especially the cockpit, and the [...]
GasPatch Models 1/48 Me 163B Komet.

Any issues were of my own making and that was only a slight misalignment of the Cannon Cartridge Ejector Chute which caused a little fit issue with the wings.
Everything else was a great fit.

Here comes my Me 163 Komet in 1/72 with Eduard Set #SS256 an two Preiser Figures. The little shelter is from Airmodel.de. The Academy kit is easy to build, but has some inaccuracies I discoverd to late. The tube attachment on the left wing [...]
Riding on A Canon-ball! Me 163B Komet (V35) – Kit: Testors/Hawk 1/48th.
I happened recently to re-read some of the material on Hanna Reitsch's flights in the Me 163 B. On YouTube I then revisited her famous description of 'riding on a canon-ball' in an interview and clip that related her 5th flight in the [...]

Wie ein floh…. Me-163 Komet B-1a
