It was an evolution of the legendary Me 163B Komet, resulting from further efforts to improve performance and pilot safety. The \"C\" prototype version differed primarily with its new, more aerodynamic bubble canopy, an improved rocket system, and increased operational range. Unfortunately, despite its advanced design, it did not enter mass production before the end of the war and remained at the prototype stage. The Me 163 served as a point-defense fighter for the Luftwaffe against Allied bombing raids over the Third Reich.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic, sprue elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVersion: Prototype cockpit with bubble canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNation of use: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II (1944–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded in the set: clear canopy part, interior detail imitations, decals for historical Luftwaffe prototype markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Hobby Me 163C Bubble Canopy Version\u003c\/strong\u003e model stands out for its faithful detailing, especially the cockpit, precise part division, and excellent casting quality.
