Instead of wasting my time studying for finals, I decided to do something
useful and built another plane instead. This MOC is a WWII-era Me163 rocket
fighter (Germany).
It was hard getting all the curves to look right, but I feel it came out
fairly close to the original, considering the size. I also added some
decals and a small ground crew set to add some interest.
Photos and .dat file are at:

The Me163 used a jettisonable trolley to take off with and landed using a
retractable skid, so that's why the MOC's undercarriage is so goofy looking.
The dat file's a bit different from the photos - the wings what I would have
liked to do in real life if I had the parts, and I also left out some
interior parts that can't be seen.
Anyways, hope you like it.
Take care,
Gary
