This is my entry for the Messerschmitt GB which I finally finished (two months to late....). It is the 1/72 Academy Me-163S Komet. I used a CMK cockpit set, Master pitot tube and decals by Rocketeer.
To make this captured example I added a scratch build venturi tube, a radio unit and antenna, opening rods for the canopy. And I deleted the armoured glass, guns and reflector sights.

And now, without further ado:

Proficiat Borg!

A beautiful build, a beautiful paint work!

So cool, so petite, so damned well-done! Man, that's a great lil' bird Borg. Your work in 1/72 is just fantastic sir! I would venture that that is a prize winning model. :bow:

Thanks for all the kind words. However, I have participated in some modelling shows I know this one would not win. Maybe that is not a clear from the photos but I see a paint and glue smear or two that would result in not making the first cut.

As for Scale Model Challenge, sounds like a nice event. I had never heard of it before. However I will be on vacation on CuraƧao in that week so I will not be able to attend.
But Euroscale Modelling is on the 31st of October. That will probably be even bigger so I will be there.
