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.

Wow this thing is great.Nice to you went for accuracy in the decals.To me it
means you include all symbols from that era even if you deem it bad(which if
you really look into history it's not)
