The Me-163 Komet family

[comrade harps]

Comprehensive and well built

No Messerschmitt P.1111? The PM Models kit is simple but nice and with a little work (scratching internal walls for the intakes mainly) it builds up very pretty indeed.

Very very nice 
I recognise a few of those as I have built some myself. The latest being the PM models DFS, which is going to be an air launched anti aircraft carrier missile. I painted it all over black, but might give it a camouflage scheme.

Nice. 

To be pedantic while Lippisch gave the name Delta to some of his early tailless
designs they weren't actually delta wings in the way the term is generally used.

The Me-163 Komet family

A few years ago I started thinking about a family of Messerschmitt Me163 models. As is always the case with my projects, I went a little overboard. The more research I did, the more designs and real aircraft popped up, that just had to be included.
But finally, here it is:

Alexander Lippisch's experiments with tailless delta's:

 
   



Linked with early experiments with rocket propulsion

   

This led to the Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet

   
   
   
 


Some Soviet tailless rocket experiments

 


Further Lippisch designs

   
   
   

German tailless fighters by other designers

   


Other German tailless aircraft
