This photo-etched set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard adds fine metal detail to the plastic kit of the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet in 1:72 scale. It is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory that replaces and refines selected plastic parts of the kit. Sets of this kind usually cover interior and exterior features - the instrument panel, seat belts, levers and small covers - etched into thin metal of a kind injection-molded plastic cannot capture in a small scale.
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a German rocket-powered interceptor of the Second World War. The tailless machine with its short powered endurance reached speeds that were astonishing for its day; it took off on a jettisoned dolly and landed on an extending skid. It was the only rocket fighter of the period to see production service, though one attended by a high accident rate.
The photo-etched parts are cut from the fret, bent along the pre-etched lines and bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate); on larger areas a two-part epoxy glue helps. Tweezers, a photo-etch bending tool and patience are recommended - the set is meant for more experienced modelers.
This is a detail accessory, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
