NICE!!!!   Another fine diorama.  The models, the figures, the details,.... it all comes together.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Good to see it finished Gary!  Job well done! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hoyhoy`al,

As I said in the last post this was done until I got a start cart. Thanks to Mossie`s generosity it`s now what I call finished finished and heres a few pics before it`s permanantly fitted into it`s dust cover.



This is a great model with no fit problems and the figures are a vast improvement over earlier Tamiya items, but still don`t have the same scale appearance as other makes. here I`ve had to try to include the figures into the dio` but keep them apart from the ICM items as their marginally bigger in all dimensions. Some details have been added like some wiring to the engine etc and my colour detailing differs with Mr Tamiya. These details came from here :-

a great site on the Me163 in all variants and some ground equipment and a very useful reference if your building a Komet. (Comming Soon)
Once again Mossie I owe you lots and to the rest enjoy with crits & comms welcomed but no invites to the pub yet ;D
