Messerschmitt Me 163 B-0
Scale: 1/48

by Ivan Ferrando

Kit: Revell

Scala: 1/48

Kit-plus: Cockpit, Aires machine-gun.well

The set Aires introduces big difficulties in the installation . Necessary to correspond the in side of the semifuselages and the piece in resin, nearly until making it to become trasparent. The assembly of the halves wing and the rudder of tail needs of moderates puttying.
For realize the B-0 version staeting from kit Revell (represents the B-1) is sufficient to replace the machine-guns from 30mm (B-1) with others of 20) and to use the wheel of tail in careened version that is found in the printed publication ones of the kit.

During the construction of the model, as usual, I have lost a piece!!!: this time has been the turn of blindoglass the hexagonal place front of the cockpit! How to reconstruct it? As usual Goat is turned me to the Master scale models Mario, than it has it reconstructed using one latten strip folded with one tweezer until obtaining the correct shape and welding the extremities. I have then added the transparent part cut it from an acetate sheet.
The aircraft has been painted entire in RLM 02 (Lifecolor).
