I agree. Everything comes together, and I really enjoy the body language and pose of the figures. Inspiring is right. Thanks for posting.
Excellent dio in a small space!..Although a static model is certainly gives off a sense of motion, overall…very inspiring! and the paint job & presentation TOPS!
Thanks for posting,
Knowing the hazards with the ME 163, I would be checking to see if any leaked fuel was dissolving the pilot.

Love the scene. Here is my version of the Meng 1/32nd Meng kit.
Hi Greg
Yep - I think the title should be “Sir - you’re the luckiest guy on earth!”.
It’s wonderful modelling - but a tragically unlikely scenario unless the Komet had pranged after an un-fueled glider flight. The pilot should be wearing a protective suit and (I think) a seat-style parachute - but even then, most Me 163s crash-landings ended with a catastrophic explosion or a firestorm of even tiny quantities of unspent fuel.
Even a “successful” heavy landing in a Komet often resulted in spinal injuries to the pilot due to the lack of a conventional undercarriage.
All the best

Should have called it the ME 163 Pilot Eater.
