LW004(SL) “Messerschmitt 163 KOMET”

The Luftwaffe’s first operational jet fighter… It was an aircraft of last resort which only flew once the Allied bomber streams were already battering “The Third Reich”. Its performance was, quite literally, explosive! Its revolutionary jet engine made it dangerous and unpredictable. But, when it worked it truly was a sight to behold streaking upwards at incredible speed unable to be caught by Allied fighters.

K&C’s polystone and metal model comes complete with a pilot and ground wheels plus a small towing tractor vehicle with a Luftwaffe Ground Crewman.

The aircraft is in the markings of JG 400 and painted to represent a typical Me. 163 during late 1944/early 1945.

This particular “Strictly Limited” piece is part of an edition of just 750 pieces.
