Kuro Nezumi Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) At last!! A modern 1/72 kit of the Comet!! I wonder if that explains why I saw some people taken photos of Grosvenor House at Shuttleworth a few weeks ago.

Shar2 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 SBS currently produce resin and turned brass add-ons for aircraft and military vehicles which are if a very high standard. Csaba is a very nice chap who is really enthusiastic for the hobby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver66 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So it could be good, any idea on price ? Will they take Novo Comets as trade in , well you said he had a sense on humour . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think a bottle of good whisky may help, as he does like the odd drink or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well, Csaba is realy a nice guy and loves a stiff drink or two. Every year we have a 'Palinka party' at the Mosonmagyarovar Makett show in Hungary. Hopefully he will have his Comets ready there around the 18th of April as I definitely will take a few.. if not all of them :-) For those unwary of what palinka is, It's the Hungarian 'schnapps' and Csaba always turns up with a nice selection of home brewed Plainka... I can't wait :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ok - I'll be the one to ask for it in 1:48 too Anyone up for asking it in 1:32 as well?

Martin @ RAM Models Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Very excited to see this kit arrive. For those wanting to read up on the racing history and the early preservation attempts of the subject I can recommend Dh88: the Story of De Havilland's Racing Comets by David Ogilvy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
