Re: My $8 1:72 Me163S
Here's the same kit done by a crazy person using Eduard PE and scratchbuilding:
I had heard that Academy kits could be a bit janky but I guess with the right skills they can't be brought up to snuff. Yours looks as good as my Hasegawa 1/32 version.
Wish mine had come with the hauler.

Fantastic build of this kit. I wish I had the talent to scratch build something like that.

Apparently the Eduard PE set has more pieces than the model itself - some smaller than a match head!

1:72 scale is small for PE parts. I might build this plane in 1:48 in future as it is one of my favourite ww2 jets.[CAT]CplSlade wrote:Apparently the Eduard PE set has more pieces than the model itself - some smaller than a match head!

I like yours better. I think the next time you do a budget kit, invest a bit in aftermarket decals.
You did a great job!
