71chally Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Does anyone here know of a source of reliable scale plans for DH106 Comet? I'm also after the tailplane span for the final variants. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzn20 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Aircraft Archive Post War Jets Volume 3 Has scale Drgs of the Comet1 and 4B good too !.. None on ebay at the moment, which is unusual but Amazon has a few around £26 to £130 ! £26 is too much to pay to be honest. I included a link so you know what to look for ! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aircraft-detailed-collection-original-aircraft/dp/0852429673/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1506547776&sr=1-1&keywords=aircraft+archive+post+war+jets+vol+3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi apologies, I had overlooked the replies here. Many thanks for that info @proplineruk and just what i was after. thanks for your further offer of info, should I need it. Thanks for that @bzn20, probably a bit steep for me at the moment, but may come in handy in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo NZ Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 When I worked on the AEW Nimrod radar fit we were naturally trying to squeeze as much as possible into the aircraft. Discovered at the time that the Comet fuselage length (from tolerance buildup) can vary by +/- 6 inches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
