Hobby Boss HB-80238 1/72 Me163 Komet Scale Modeller Kit  [HB-80238]

Scale Replica of the Me163 Komet

The Hobby Boss HB-80238 1/72 scale model represents the German Me163 Komet, an unconventional World War II rocket-powered fighter developed under Project X in 1937 by Dr Alexander Lippisch. Intended as a defensive interceptor, the Me163 series progressed to the Me163 B in 1943 and entered production in July 1944, resulting in 279 aircraft delivered to the Luftwaffe, even though fuel consumption and limited range restricted its operational use.
