Messerschmitt Me-163B, Heller 1/72nd

Messerschmitt Me-163B

NOTES: Moving on from the Heinkel and Arado, the Me-163 (always a favourite of mine) got a little better treatment which came with a slight increase in experience, but still before the advent of the airbrush. Considering the techniques I used on this and my skill at the time (on a scale of 0-100, about 3), it didn't turn out too bad. I have an identical kit, however, which I intend to finish "properly", and it will be interesting (or embarrassing) to see the comparison. Watch this space…

Extras:
None

Finish: Humbrol Enamels, Humbrol Matt Varnish

Brush: Handpainted, with brush dipped in white spirits to "blur" camouflage pattern.
