stevehnz Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Nice job on those, especially given the originals you had to work with. Well done on finding markings to fit that odd scale too. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That odd scale would be just the ticket for strafing a HO train layout! Lovely models from a neolithic kit. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I vaguely remember building one of the Comet kits when I was a lad, but it sure as heck didn't look anywhere near as good as yours! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to find two manufacturer who were so kind to scale the decals down from 1/72, Peddinghaus and HaHen. Cheers Macki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 When those kits first came out, no one could have possibly imagined that plastic modeling would advance so greatly that what is now considered a crude kit could be constructed by a true model builder and result in a finished model that doesn't even hint at the kit origins. Your models really show how far we've come. You can be justly proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
