CMK F48354 Ox Towing Me-163B & Luftwaffe Ground Crew 1/48

The model kit CMK F48354 Ox Towing Me-163B & Luftwaffe Ground Crew 1/48 is a unique offering for diorama enthusiasts and World War II aviation aficionados. The 1/48 scale model depicts an exceptional scene from the very end of the conflict—a German ox tractor towing the famous rocket-powered fighter Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, along with a highly detailed figure of a Luftwaffe ground crew member. This scene is based on authentic photographic material from 1945, when due to severe fuel shortages, the Third Reich was forced to employ conventional means of transport, even for such modern aircraft as the Me 163B or Me 262.

Germany (the Third Reich) implemented these practices at the end of World War II in 1945, in a desperate attempt to keep their airfields and aircraft operational. Historical photographs depict scenes where both jet and conventional aircraft were towed by oxen or horses between positions at Luftwaffe airbases. The Me-163B Komet, being the first rocket-powered aircraft used in combat, stood out not only for its performance but also for its complex ground handling. The figures included in the set will allow you to recreate very authentic and rarely depicted scenes from the final days of World War II modeling.
