I thought it was just ok, that they made better planes, this being the first one made post 2000, if you don't count the Ramjager. There a couple on eBay, one relatively inexpensive. Comes with a trolley.

I love mine. I even had a larger version made of Mahanoy in The Philippines, however, it does not have the detail. Larry.

We have a 1:1 scale in Canberra.....



Sorry, NOT FOR SALE !!

This aircraft was captured in May 1945, probably at Husum in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It was one of a group of stored machines believed to be replacements for Jagdgeschwader 400.
There is no evidence that the Memorial's aircraft was issued to an operational unit and it does not appear to have been extensively flown.
The Me 163Bs were first introduced for operational use in July 1944 and were the only operational rocket powered fighter of the Second World War.
The Me 163B caused concern among Allied daylight bomber crews when it first appeared as its speed and heavy firepower made it a potentially effective interceptor of bombers.
However the technical limitations of the aircraft, the small number produced, fuel shortages and the difficulty and danger of flying it, meant that its impact on the war was minimal.

This aircraft was selected for inclusion in the AWM collection in 1946, at which time it was located at No 4 Maintenance Unit in the United Kingdom, and shipped to Australia that same year.
The RAAF Museum repainted the aircraft in 1978. Further work was done by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation In 1982.
The aircraft was again painted by AWM staff in 2003.
