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.

Ah jeepers, at some point I want to make a German WWII MOC, but Gary just
snapped up another one, and an excellent rendition, too. The Star Wars
canopy works well in this case, thanks!


Thanks, I appreciate the nice comments.

So what's left, the Me-262, Ju-88, some Heinkel and Dornier bombers? The
wooden jet fighter that never really flew? The humongous 6 engined
glider/transport?

Hmm, not sure yet.  German aircraft of that era had a lot of style, which is
why I like to model them, but there's a few Allied aircraft I'm thinking of
doing.  There's a few more German planes I'd really like to do though, too.
Maybe a few weeks...


  Thanks again,

  Gary
