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 a very good cockpit. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes 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 its first powered flight, the motor quit and the aircraft crashed. The end of the war stopped further development.
