I used the 1/48 Dragon Me163B (#5504) kit with the aftermarket Aires Me 163B Komet cockpit and photoetch set (#4088). Markings came from the Cutting Edge decal sheet for the Me 163B (#CED48259).
The painting was completed using various shades and tints of RLM74 and RLM75 over RLM76. Raw umber/lamp black mix oil filters and pin washes along with various gray pastels were used for weathering. Everything was sealed with a 60/40 mix of acrylic flat clear and thinner.
Enjoy!
