| scigs30 | Comet Corsair | Parked | 25-Jun-10 14:36 |  | | Views : 3241 | | I was able to finish the Spitfire today and will add it to my Comet WWII collection. These are a great series, fun easy builds that fly great. I made my own decals and the decal paper was a little thinner than I normally use, but they came out ok. I first sprayed glosscote where the decals are placed, added the decals and then shot dullcote. The canopy was cut out from the pattern on the plans and glued in place with Canopy Glue. She will fly without the landing gear. |

| scigs30 | Comet Corsair | Parked | 24-Jun-10 19:29 |  | | Views : 962 | | Finished the painting using Design Masters paints. The paint added just over 2 grams to the weight, not too bad. This plane has removable landing gear for flight, but could also fly with the landing gear. I still have to spray glosscote then apply the decals and spray dullcote. Then I will attach the canopy. Part of me is thinking I should just leave these old comet kits white and apply the decals. I think it is kind of neat to show off the Comet structure with the original Comet white tissue. What do you all think? |
