Hasegawa S4X Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet (1/32)

Hasegawa S4X Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet in 1:32 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit that enables you to recreate one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II. The Hasegawa brand guarantees precise detailing, both in the shape of the fuselage, the distinct panel lines, cockpit details, and the characteristic landing gear components.

The Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet was the world’s first rocket-powered fighter aircraft. Manufactured in Germany, it entered operational service at the end of 1944, serving mainly in the Luftwaffe – the German Air Force during World War II. It gained notoriety for its remarkable speed and innovative propulsion, which allowed it to reach speeds of up to 960 km/h, making it the most advanced, although difficult to fly, machine of its era.

Me 163B aircraft participated in combat over Germany during Allied bombing raids in 1944-1945. Their missions involved rapid “intercept” attacks on Allied bomber formations. In practice, there were numerous limitations – short flight time, risk of rocket engine failure, and the small number of units produced meant that the Komet’s role as a fighter was limited, but historically fascinating.
