Ditto on that. I already made the single seater and it was a breeze. The CMK resin parts need some adaptation but the basic kit is great.CallSignOWL wrote:its actually a really solid kit. Acadmy has nice engineering on this one!

Re: Academy Me-163S
I painted the cockpit in RLM 66. The whole black base is a bit new for me. So I did my best not to get full coverage but get a an irregular pattern. Now to do some detail painting, then a wash and before you know it I can close the fuselage up.

Excellent work... 
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

Re: Academy Me-163S
Interesting to see that CMK set popped into that little kit. Looking good Borg!
I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, smothered in Canadian bacon.

Still chipping away at that cockpit. I did some detail painting and coated it with Future as preparation for a wash.
Re: Academy Me-163S
Nice. I did this one a couple years ago. I used Eduard PE instead of resin. I see you use the CMK kit, which is the other route.
This is an excellent little kit. Have fun. I'll watch it come along!

And here is the result of the wash and flat coat:
Time to start glueing this thing together.

In all honesty, I only tried the whole black base thing because of the results I see guys like you and DoogsATX get with that technique. I am not exactly sure how it works but I like the way this cockpit has turned out.Fermis wrote:
