I have not started yet but I found all the stuff for my build. A 1/72 Academy Me-163S, Eduard express masks and a CMK kit for the cockpit.

Very nice! I like that little bugger.

Oh, and welcome to the GB

The S was the russian 2 seat trial aircraft wasnt it?
72nd is gonna make your eyes hurt, the 48 scale kit was small enough.

The soviets indeed tested both single and dual seat Komets. They did not make powered flights but towed the Komets. I am thinking of making it in the Russian version.

I have made the CMK cockpit to fit. It took some sanding and removal of a strengthening rib inside the Academy fuselage.

And I found a packing mistake in the CMK kit. The canopy supplied is of the single seat version instead of the dual seat. This is an AM kit from 2000 so I do not think it would be very useful to ask for a replacement. So the kit parts wil be used.
