Wow. As an armour builder I am in awe of this build. Stunning work. Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm looks very interesting.

It's still included.

Thanks guys.

Defo...check out my results with the kit http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70952&hl=chally. Well worth investing in the Eduard PE too, just adds that something special.

Looks spot on to me. The thing with the comet, and to me this is part of its appeal, it's essentially an 'austerity' vehicle. If it's not needed it's not on. Its designed for mass production by a semi skilled work force and armed to do the job (destroy latter war German armour) . A very good filler for the RAC until Centurion came on line.

Sweet.

Been a while since I did any armour, but here it is, a Matchbox, sorry Revell, Comet completed as part of a diorama for another build. My first foray into 1:76 and I enjoyed it. Entirely OOB, and a simple little kit to build.

May as well hang up the brushes now and call it a day.

Thanks all. The next one will involve a saw, some glue and a lot of coffee...

Part of 2 sqn's worth of a/c gifted by the Holy Russian Empire to the Knights Templar Air Corps in 1957. This a/c served on the Eastern Antioch Front (2 yellow stripes on port wing) in the combat patrol role. These patrols roamed the desert along the borders of the Greater Islamic Lands and the Middle Eastern fringes of the Holy Roman Empire. This particular a/c was piloted by Brother Knight Michel de Payens and flew from Al-Bukamal, a town often attatcked by rocket fire from G.I.L forces. The camoflage adopted is a simple blue/grey underbelly with a mottled camoflage coat of Brown and light tan, which works well in the border desert. The tail cross, theatre stripes and shield emblems are sprayed and masked on...the shields seemed a good idea at the time.

Lovely finish, like the addition of the Monkey on Traffic duties. Nice touch.

There is an image of one leaving a factory somewhere about, but as Wayne points out as the photo is B&W it's very hard to tell, but the give away was the welds, the assy intructions chalked on the side, and the gun barrel being darker than the rest of the vehicle, which leads me to believe the vehicle was either unpainted or severly white washed.

I'm sure there's a sunny side to this....
