Print Scale 48-216 Decal Messerschmitt ME-163 B Komet Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-216 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale plastic model kits of the Messerschmitt Me 163B “Komet”. This sheet provides multiple historically documented code/number combinations and insignia elements covering late-war operational and test assignments, plus one post-war example. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).

The Me 163B was a compact rocket-powered aircraft developed in Germany during the final phase of World War II. Surviving references show the type in service with JG 400 units as well as evaluation and test organizations; these contexts are reflected in the marking options included in this set.

For modelers, this decal sheet is useful when you want a choice of distinct codes and Werknummer-based identities without mixing unrelated aircraft types. It also includes technical stenciling to support a more complete finish on a small airframe. Some options include period tail markings; local rules on the display of certain symbols may apply depending on your region.
