Still one of the
sleekest, prettiest, most elegant flying things, the De Havilland Comet racer
seems to fly even when on land.
I built this model some time ago. I found it in one of the many boxes
that keep popping out when I'm looking for something else and I thought you may
like to see something that has to do only with the pure pleasure of flying.
The old Airfix kit is well known, simple and quite honest. A few pieces,
just some detail and transparencies that may need a tad of your attention. The
air runs freely trough the engine bays, but that can be easily fixed. Even the
somewhat lazy modelers can add a thing or two to the interior and just let the
model pleasant lines do their magic.

I just added the
front light, the mass balances on the tail surfaces, a very few things to the
cockpit and lights on the leading edge of the wing.
I will definitely build another one, if I could get a hold of a reissue.
Sure it is coming, isn't it?
