1/72 72037 MPM Misubishi J8M1 (Japanese Me-163 Comet)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Well molded injection kit with fine recessed panel lines, photoetched details and an very good cockpit. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The Japanese copy of the Me-163 Komet was a last ditch attempt to stop the B-29 raids. Gliding tests went well, but on it's first powered flight, the motor quit and the aircraft crashed. The end of the war stopped further development.
