Great looking aircraft. 

I like the dioramas as well.  The little dog in one of the images is a great touch.

You can almost HEAR the one in the first piccie blasting off! Magic!  ;D :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks guys, much appreciated! :cheers:

Were it not for the unusually poor weather here I would have been able to also get pics of my other new model the 1/48 scale Komet, I intend to use the different scale Komets in some forced perpective pics.

Superb Job! i could almost hear a Voice Over of,"Somewhere in Germany, a ME-163 is Getting Ready to Launch,Trying to Stem the Allied Air Forces Tide of Constant Bombings!" Great Dioramas & superb Work on building the Model :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers: :cheers: Dan

Thanks Dan!

I will try and come up with interesting pics of my 1/48 scale Komet too, the weather here has been the second wettest June on record and July has also started out wet and overcast...terrible for taking any in-flight pics of the models.

Here is one more take-off pic of the HobbyBoss Me 163.

Just hope that station dog is not licking a pool of T-Stoff/C-Stoff whatever it was  :blink:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'm not sure Matrixone makes any of these models! No I'm pretty sure he's got a time machine
And just 'pops' back every now and then, takes a few pictures and then tells us they are plastic kits ;D
That would explain that bit about not being able to take pictures because of the weather, that's code for
I've just got to pop back in time and take some more snaps :drink:

Seriously good work there :thumbsup:
They just seem to get better and better  :thumbsup:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

The level of modeling and photograph is so high ...! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Will die without understanding this world.

I think that I would probably subscribe to this theory!

Modelling and  photography both magnificent!!

Thank you Rheged!

Even though the weather remains too poor in my area for taking outdoor pics I am trying to think of how I am going to pose my new 1/48 scale Komet for its ''roll out'' pictures whenever that may be.
