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,
