It includes extras not in the original Academy release such as a canopy mask set and several more decal marking schemes. In addition, I also bought a colour photo-etch detail set from Eduard.com, containing enhanced cockpit and exterior details over the plastic parts included in the kit. <imgcaption photoetch|Eduard photoetch part SS256.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:ss256.gif?400|}}</imgcaption> Since the [[:blog:models:luftwaffe_display|original WWII airfield display]] turned out so well, I was inspired to create [[:blog:models:luftwaffe_latewar_display|another display shelf specifically for late-war German jet and rocket aircraft]]. ---- ==== Paints ==== === Colour Chart === <imgcaption chart|Colour chart from instruction manual.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113405.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> === Paints Used === ^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^ ==== Box Contents ==== === Box === <imgcaption box|Box>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113325.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> === Instructions / assembly information === <imgcaption manual_1|Instruction manual.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113353.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption manual_2|Instruction manual/painting schemes.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113405.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> === Parts === <imgcaption parts_1|Parts Frame 1.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113519.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption parts_2|Parts Frame 2.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113533.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption parts_3|Parts Frame 3.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113545.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption parts_4|Parts Frame 4.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113554.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> === Decals === <imgcaption decals_1|Masking set.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113417.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption decals_2|Decals.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113432.jpg?500|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption decals_3|Photoetch parts from Eduard.>{{:blog:models:hobby2000_me163:img20250617113646.jpg?300|}}</imgcaption> ==== In Progress Images ==== ==== Finished Images ==== ---- [[:blog:models:military:index|Back to Military models index]] blog/military/models_me_163.txt Last modified: 2025/07/09 19:51by john
