Eduard 644117 Me 163B LööK GASPATCH MODELS 1/48 – Cockpit Detail Set

Eduard 644117 Me 163B LööK GASPATCH MODELS 1/48 is a high-quality detail set intended for the German Messerschmitt Me 163B rocket fighter model in 1/48 scale. This product is dedicated to Gaspatch Models kits, offering modelers a quick and impressive way to enhance the realism of their replica by replacing key cockpit interior components.

The Me 163B Komet was one of the most innovative aircraft of World War II, used by the Luftwaffe (Germany). The design was powered by a rocket engine, reaching record-breaking speeds. These units were used in combat mainly during the final phase of the conflict, in 1944–1945, with the task of defending the Reich against Allied bombing raids. Although technologically groundbreaking, the Me 163B never significantly influenced the course of the war; nevertheless, it remains a subject of great interest among aviation history enthusiasts.

The Eduard 644117 Me 163B LööK set consists of two precisely reproduced parts:

• a finely cast, factory-painted resin instrument panel with detailed representation of dials, indicators, and backlighting
• high-quality, photo-etched and colorized STEEL seat belts, perfectly capturing the real features of the original

In contrast to standard plastic kit parts, the Eduard product allows you to quickly achieve a much better visual effect without tedious and risky hand-painting of miniature dials. No additional decals are required, and assembly is limited to just a few simple steps—making this set an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced modelers looking to upgrade their collection without heavy time investment.

The resin set and photo-etched elements fit only Gaspatch Models 1/48 scale kits. Compatibility with other kits may require minor modifications.
