As a result, there was in truth no Me163 airframe laying around waiting for a rocket motor. Therefore the entire premise for this prop-driven variant (that somehow came before) is completely without merit... and therefore quite fictional.
I don't have problems with "1946" designs that were on the drawing board but not implemented due to the end of the war. IMO, I do have a problem with completely fictional aircraft
oh whell project all ready started
