This page shows a list of RC models of all types: plans only, with some parts, and with pre-moulded parts. Excluded are semi-scale Me 163 RC models, that only share the basic wing planform with the real thing. If you have further questions, chances are small I can help you, since I'm not an RC modeler. A better option would be to write the RC modelers that are featured on this page; their e-mail addresses can be found on the individual web pages.
