It is known as the world's first rocket-propelled aircraft. It was equipped with one Walter HWK109-509 rocket engine. It achieved a top speed of 959 km\/h and a climb rate of 160 m\/s. However, its tailless, mid-wing shape made it difficult to control, and it is said that powered flight using the engine lasted only about 7 minutes, resulting in an extremely short range. Also, after interception, it would glide back to base, during which time it was exposed to attacks from Allied aircraft. Nevertheless, it is said that between 350 and 400 units were produced. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the model\u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Messerschmitt Me163 Komet, a German rocket aircraft from World War II. The scale is 1\/48. The distinctive tailless design is accurately modeled. In addition, this kit also reproduces the Walter HWK109-509 rocket engine mounted at the rear of the aircraft. The mounted state can be represented by cutting the aircraft parts and separating the rear section. Mechanic and ground crew figures are also included to match the engine. Furthermore, the cockpit is finely detailed, with seats, instrument panel, and control stick reproduced. The canopy can be assembled in either open or closed position. The landing gear comes with both skid and tire parts, which can be selected. In addition, a pilot figure about to enter the cockpit and rudder parts are also included. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: DRAGON\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: DR5551\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Product Specifications: Main Features\u003cbr\u003e●Reproduces the Messerschmitt Me163 Komet in 1\/48 scale\u003cbr\u003e●Reproduces the rocket engine mounted on the rear of the aircraft\u003cbr\u003e●The cockpit interior is also finely reproduced\u003cbr\u003e●The landing gear comes with skid parts and tire parts\u003cbr\u003e●The canopy can be opened or closed\u003cbr\u003e●Includes a pilot figure and two ground crew figures\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/48\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4545782131970\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n・Release date, price, product name, etc. may change without notice.
