Discover the German "Komet" - The Me 163B Model Kit on P-Rex Hobby

Experience the thrill of history with the Me 163B "Komet", the world's only operational rocket-powered interceptor from WWII. Known for its astonishing speed and climb rate, the Me 163B was a marvel of engineering, designed to intercept allied bombers deep within Europe and Germany. Despite its capabilities, the aircraft's operational wing only managed to shoot down 9 enemy aircraft during the war. Like its namesake, the "Komet" left a bright trail in the annals of history.

This 1:32 scale Me 163B model kit marks MENG's first foray into large-scale aircraft projects, offering a building experience. With dimensions of 178mm in length and 292mm in wingspan, this model is a substantial representation of the historic interceptor.

A support frame is included to showcase the interior details vividly.
