Brian Grinter<p>This has been a quick build so far, the little Heller Me-163 Komet in 1/72 scale. First tooled in 1977 it comes with the little Scheuch-Schlepper tractor too. Not hugely detailed but it looks cool with a bit of detailing. It might make an interesting diorama. The Komet could do about 515 kts or 955 kph with its rocket motor but a range of only 19nm or 35km.</p><p><a href="https://www.briangrinter.com/2025/03/me-163/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">briangrinter.com/2025/03/me-16</span><span class="invisible">3/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/scalemodel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scalemodel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aviation</span></a></p>
