Me-163B Komet (two kits in box), 1/144 - Brengun BRP144004

The BRP144004 reference from Brengun offers an injection-plastic kit to build the Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet at 1/144. The box contains two copies of this German rocket-powered interceptor, allowing you to build two aircraft from the same assembly project.

The Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet

The Me 163 Komet is a German World War II fighter aircraft, designed as a rocket-powered interceptor. Its architecture without a conventional horizontal tailplane, its swept wings, and its distinctive propulsion system make it one of the most recognizable aircraft of military aviation from that period. The Me 163B was deployed with operational units in 1944.

The Brengun model kit at 1/144

Molded in injection plastic, this Brengun kit reproduces the Me 163B at the 1/144 scale: each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced 144 times. This compact format is well suited for building a collection of World War II aircraft, displaying multiple models on the same base, or incorporating the aircraft into a small airfield diorama.

Having two model kits in the box lets you vary finishes, compare two different paint schemes, or depict a pair of interceptors in a dedicated Luftwaffe collection.

Decals included

The markings provided make it possible to represent Me 163B aircraft from JG 400, including at Brandis in July and August 1944, as well as at Husum in 1945. The associated color callouts include RLM 76, RLM 81 and RLM 82, with white, red, black and silver.

Assembly and finishing

As with any plastic model kit at this scale, careful preparation of the small parts helps achieve a fine final result. Light sanding of the attachment points, precise gluing, and applying a suitable primer will make painting easier. Decals apply more easily on a smooth, glossy surface, before any light weathering adapted to the effect you want.
