Komet 191301 undergoing thorough study in a hangar. The center fuselage top can be taken off for maintenance, and no structural work has to be done to open a Komet this much. The main T-Stoff tank is now clearly visible. Rarely seen in the open position is the hatch just in front of the vertical tail. Skid fairings are removed completely.
